Features

The AIoT Face Recognition Door Lock Smart House is built from 5 mm wood panels cut with a laser cutter. Besides the necessary mounting and display holes, the exterior has window shapes and an engraved roof texture. The house measures about 378 × 238 × 308 mm. The left panel uses an easy-to-remove design, and the door opens and closes.

Front of the smart house

• HuskyLens AI vision camera: mounted directly above the door. To protect the lens from wear, it is installed inside the house, with an opening cut where the camera looks out.
• OLED display and buzzer: show messages and sound alerts.
• Button: starts face recognition.
• RFID reader: reads registered cards and key fobs.

• Angled-bolt electromagnetic lock: mounted on the movable door; its angled bolt lets the door lock as soon as it closes.

Back of the smart house

• DC jack: connects an external 12 V power supply for the electromagnetic lock.

• Easy-to-remove left side: the EzDIO is mounted next to the removable panel, making it convenient for expansion, teaching, and setting up the HuskyLens.
