A Smarter Magic Mirror - Raspberry Pi Face Recognition and Doppler Radar Motion Detection

I'm taking my Magic/Smart Mirror to the next level by adding motion sensing and face detection - and reducing its power consumption!. As always we're sponsored by https://www.PCBWay.com/?from=atomic.

This was a fun project - I could have made 5 or 6 videos but decided to just mash it all into one.

This all works on the Pi Zero W 2 - pretty impressive!

0:00 What's this all about?
0:28 Just how much power does the mirror use at the moment?
1:20 Passive Infra Red (PIR) Motion Detector
3:22 Doppler Radar Motion Detector PCB
5:03 Using the Pi Camera for Motion Detection
6:02 OpenCV Face Detection on the Pi
6:30 Face Identification on the Pi
7:35 The Pi is getting a bit warm!
8:00 Putting it all together
9:20 Does it work?
