Building an AI Home Security System: Part 2

This is the second instalment of a miniseries where I am building an end-to-end AI home security and cross platform system. I recommend reading Part 1 before reading on. To recap, the main requirements for this system are: - Detect motion - Capture photo - Create message with photo attached - Send message to Telegram bot The system will also detect who is in the photo, if the person is me, then do not invoke the Telegram bot with a message and image In this blog post, we implement core functionality that lets us convert images to vectors using OpenAIs free CLIP SDK and ViT-B-32 model. These can then be used to perform real-time similarity checks against new incoming data.
