# AI powered webcam
With a raspberry pi zero 2 w, camera module, 2x SG90 servo's, custom 3D printed case and this software you can create an AI powered webcam that follows a person and can autofocus and pan/tilt.
## Hardware
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
- Raspberry Pi 5 8MP IMX219 Camera Module
- 2x SG90 Servo Motors
- Custom 3D Printed Case (available on [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:708819))
- Micro USB to USB-A male OTG Cable
## Installation
To set up the AI powered webcam on your Raspberry Pi (zero 2w), follow these steps:
0. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AlbertovanEckeveld/ai-webcam.git
```
1. Install the required packages:
```bash
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev libatlas-base-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5 v4l2-ctlq
```
2. Install the required Python packages:
```bash
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Add to config.txt on the boot partition:
```bash
dtoverlay=dwc2
```
4. Add to cmdline.txt after rootwait:
```bash
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether rootwait
```
5. Place usb-webcam.sh script in /usr/bin/ and make it executable
```bash
sudo cp usb-webcam.sh /usr/bin/usb-webcam.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/usb-webcam.sh
```
6. Add the script to crontab to start automatically on boot:
```bash
sudo crontab -e
```
Add the following line:
```bash
@reboot /usr/bin/usb-webcam.sh
@reboot python3 main.py
```
7. Reboot the Raspberry Pi:
```bash
sudo reboot now
```
