Prototype needed, looking for ESP32 S3 + cam & facial presence confirmation

Community Jobs and Paid Consultancy

Looking for skilled hobbyists who are able to put together a prototype with 3d printing for us.

We need:

Lightweight board with Cam ESP-32 S3 with cam or similar

Needs to run a lightweight facial recognition model to detect the presence of a face in the frame

Once detected and face large enough as a proportion of the frame (close faces only) send the facial frames (3 or so) via wifi to a pc via a http post.

Battery to last as long as possible, approx 140 activations ish per day.

Case required where battery can be swapped out of the enclosure, should be small as possible and attractive like a ring door bell.

Anyone able to help with this prototype project?

Based on your conflicting requirements, it can't be done.

Who is 'we'?

there are number of ESP32S3 based camera development boards around which may meet your requirements, e.g.
heltec ESP32 Wi-Fi HaLow Camera HT-HC33, Liligo T-Camera S3, etc

Thanks

Bit difficult to make reasonable comments based on the info provided.

For sure it good if batteries last ‘as long as possible’ but that’s meaningless really, what is the practical limit required ? Is a 10minute battery life enough, an hour or a month maybe ?

Same with ‘as small as possible’. You seem to suggest a size similar to a ring door bell, but what size of ring doorbell did you have in mind ?

I believe the smallest of the ESP32 Camera boards in the SEEED XIAO ESP32S3 sense;

However ESP32S3 camera boards are fairly power hungry devices so may not be suitable for the application.

Yes, I can do this project. I have done something very similar using XIAO camera. I can also design the enclosure and take care of the APIs. Let's connect at chanchalkks@gmail.com
