Is The Mail Here Yet?
For Hack Upstate 2020 hackathon, I made a tool that emailed me when my webcam detected a Fedex or UPS truck, so I wouldn't miss package deliveries. Won 2nd place.
For my Hack Upstate 2020 submission (a 24 hour hackathon), I created a tool that emailed me when a Fedex or UPS truck was detected from my webcam. The goal was to not miss when a mail truck delivered a package. I received 2nd place.
It utilized Google's Teachable Machine to train the model and TensorFlow/OpenCV to detect the trucks.
Some challenges I ran into were:
CUDA version support on my OS vs TensorFlow.
Trying to ingest an RTMP stream via a Wyze camera resulted in random crashes from inconsistent stream. The RTMP support for Wyze was in beta at the time.
