Assignment week 2 - proposal for a final project
The Mobile Doorman
The idea is to have a mobile doorbell at your door wich contacs you via videocall on your mobile when your not at home. But works as a normal doorbell when at home. It also provides further development ideas in the future and I see it happening in few stages.
Stage 1: Mobile doorbell with just audio back and forth.
Stage 2: Videocall doorbell with audio and video back and forth.
Stage 3: Videocall doorbell plus front door surveillance system.
Other thougts: - You could "buzz" someone in via your mobile. - A text message on your mobile when you get mail throug the mail slot
