Intelligent Intercom R.I.N.G is a project that leverages the power of WebRTC for real-time communication. The system is hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4 and allows for functionalities such as video calling, door access control (via a buzzer), and light control (via LEDs). The client-side application is built with React.js and styled with Tailwind.css.
The device setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 4b, a Pi Camera 2, a buzzer, a button, and LEDs.
To replicate the hardware setup, you will need the following components:
- Raspberry Pi 4b
- Pi Camera 2
- Buzzer
- Button
- LEDs
Connect these components as per the standard Raspberry Pi GPIO layout. Ensure the Pi Camera is properly connected to the camera serial interface (CSI) port.
The server-side application is written in Python and hosted on the Raspberry Pi. The client-side application is built with React.js and styled with Tailwind.css. Communication between the server and client is facilitated through WebRTC.
To run the software, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository to your local machine using
git clone https://github.com/Seszele/RingApp.git - Navigate to the project directory.
- Install the necessary dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt - Run the server-side application using the
./start_servers.sh - Navigate to the client directory and install all required packages using
npm install - Run the client-side application using
npm start.
To start the servers, run the start_servers.sh script. This script will start both the server-side application hosted on the Raspberry Pi and the client-side application.
To stop the servers, run the stop_servers.sh script. This will halt both the server-side and client-side applications.
If you find the stream lagging and delayed, try changing the resolution of the stream in the signaling_server.py file. The default resolution is set to 640x480. You can change this to 320x240 or 160x120. The lower the resolution, the faster the stream will be.
