Build your own fast video doorbell / intercom on Raspberry Pi

This video shows how to build a smart video doorbell device with 2-way audio and iOS push notifications, using a Raspberry Pi.

Here is a list of parts:

Raspberry Pi 3

MicroSD memory card

Power supply

Plastic case

Video camera module

Speaker with built-in amplifier

Mini USB microphone

Button

Jumper wires

And here is the link to the operating system to use on the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Stretch)

This video deserves so more views.

I used a pi zero w, standard pi commands for video and still pics, usb mic. Still deciding on if I will hardwire the power or use a battery with a solar charger. I'm in a not to safe area so I use the zero (pi lite version which has a smaller footprint). I may place the unit up above the door facing down so it will be hard to steal. But the zero works very good. I did everything he did here but used the zero.

Wow 🎉, why you do not make alot project ❤

Hey, Sneaky Olof. How can we configure the Resberry Pi with the wifi and power supply?

[DiyintheGhetto]

Hello can i use the pi zero wireless one instead of the 3? I have audio and microphone on it. But not sure about how much processing power it will require.

[trispi]

Along with lots of other users, I use a Windows PC and Android phone. Can this be adjusted to work with those instead? Most Rpi users would be in the same camp I'd imagine

[bobjoe]

Can i use the pi4 because i dont own pi 3, but i worry about the audio problem like you said in the first of the video

Hey, sorry for the late comment, I absolutely love your setup, I would like to ask, if we do it with raspberry pi zero, and we lack of sound output, we repleace it with a usb-hub connectes usb-to jack sound output and microphone input, will it work properly? Thank you for your answer😄

[danielducu]

I wonder if I can implement this into my old video intercom. I have analog mic and speaker pinout and coaxial cable with analog video signal coming from the camera.

Hello Olof,
I just came across your video about building a video doorbell.
Excellent project! Thank you very much!
I don‘t have an Apple app developer account and have never used Xcode before.
Can you please guide me (and maybe others, too) what you have done or what is in particular needed to get the app running on my personal iOS devices?

Do you keep it on your door at night? It says 'take me with you from that door'

[elielepetit]

hi from Burundi, i see if someone presses the button you receive the notification, is this notification depended on a specified distance or everywhere you are in the world you can get it?

[boopeshkumarprabhakaran]

Is it possible to control it with home assistant

[talhakaraca]

i do this project for my school project but i can't access the doorbell app can you please help me

Can anyone confirm if this now works with Pi 4?

[cjlowe]

Ok. So you got the code for a web site! At least you could of written up the steps!

[firdoshdiakus]

You must state in the begin of your video that it is for iOS only. Useless if does not work on

[themaximusone]

You don't need a pi sheesh use an old phone nice project either way.

guess this is for safe neighborhood only
