Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

@jspike how this should work? when you shut down the mirror it wouldn’t restart if you enter the room because you completely turned off the raspberry
EDIT: I’m sorry read mirror instead of monitor

Hi. Has anybody been successful in implementing an ip-cam with paviro´s module? I really would like to “misuse” this module to watch my frontdoor and inform me if someone “unknown” shows up.
I did a quick look into the “OpenCV” - Framework, but I´m at a loss on how to
bend the module to accept an jpg from my foscam ip cam. -
@desq I successfully integrated the Raspberry Pi & Motion together. It would be pretty simple to adapt it to inform you of when someone shows up at your door. It won’t have recognition capabilities, but it will be able to trigger an alert if someone is at your doorstep. Motion has integrated IP cam support.

@desq that is exaclty what i want too :) and save the video file for later… but how? ^^

@schlachtkreuzer6 Check out the tutorial I wrote for Motion & the mirror. Pretty much the part you’ll have to figure out is how to get a script to update the mirror. Motion can be configured to run a script, save a file, stream a video, etc. from an IP camera. There’s also a streaming server integrated into it, so you could probably put the contents of the IP camera into the stream from motion, and then use an IFRAME to display the stream’s output.
In my research, I found a lot of information on the Motion software, including a couple that were specifically about running Motion on a Raspberry Pi as a security system. Once you have that configured, the next part is just figuring out how to send an alert to your mirror and how you want to display it.

@bhepler great thanks! I will check this soon :D

@bhepler Thank you for your suggestion.
I already have this functionality. (Using my NAS´s “Synology Surveillance Station”).
If a “motion” is detected, I get an “Alert Notification” with a Mjpeg-Stream on my Magic Mirror. Every motion is reported,
so I get a lot of “false positive”.I would prefer a face detection (and I´m wondering why software like “Motion” and the “Surveillance Station” does not implement these feature.)
Any OpenCV Gurus in the house?

Hi,
I have an issue with magicmirror not detecting my face. I got the training right and verified with the twst tool. The test tool recognizes me very good and quickly.
But whan i launch MM, I just get:
User undefined with confidence null logged in.I tried tweaking the threshold values, but maybe not doing it right.
Any ideas? Pulling my hair here :-)

I am using an external USB cam.

Are you sure you put the training .xml file in the right place? Are you sure the training name syntax in your confis.jsg file matches the output from the train.py program you ran? those are about the only 2 things I can think of. Double check those and if you havent found the problem yet post the output from train.py and your config.js
