Category Submission

Choose Your Own Adventure

App Link

Link to the webapp

Use the following credentials to login:

user: test

password: test

Self host your app

Create a MongoDB database named "db" with the following collections:
- users
- access_log
- auth
cd to the frontend directory
Create a .env file in the frontend directory and add the following variables:

MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_uri
ENV=production
JWT_SECRET=random_string

Replace your_mongodb_uri with the uri of your MongoDB database and random_string with a random string.

Add an admin to the database by inserting the following data

{
    "username": "admin",
    "salt": "salt",
    "hash": "hash"
}

Get the hash and salt values by running the following command:

npm run hash <password>

Now run the app with the following commands:

npm install
npm run build
npm run preview

Visit http://localhost:4173 to see the webapp

Background

We thought about a project that could be useful in our daily life. We decided to create a webapp that could be used to register the access to a door. Maybe it could be useful in a school or in a company where you want to know who has access to a specific door and restrict the access to some people. Maybe you can use an arduino to open the door when the face is recognized or you can use a raspberry pi to do the same thing.

How We built it

We used python to make a script that uses the webcam that is connected to the computer to recognize the face of the user. If the face is recognized, the script sends the log to the MongoDB database. We used SvelteKit to create the webapp that uses the MongoDB database to show the list of users that have access to the door and the history of the accesses to the door. The people entered in the same day are counted and shown in the dashboard. The webapp is responsive and can be used on mobile devices. We used the following technologies:

MongoDB
Python
- OpenCV
- Face Recognition
- pymongo
Sveltekit
- TailwindCSS
- jsonwebtoken
