Sometimes people stop by your dorm room, apartment, or house looking for you but you aren't there but you don't know that they were there. There should be a way of fixing that.

Our project is in its very early stages. It currently is a program that notifies a user when their friends stop by. It tells the user who exactly stopped by using facial recognition and when they stopped by. It currently uses a webcam now but in the future it will use a camera attached to a raspberry pi. For demo purposes, the notifications currently utilize the standard Microsoft Windows notifications.

To use, the server is run on the user's computer. The client is then run on the device attached to the camera. The client upon initial startup will read a folder of faces to "learn" them. When one of those faces appears at the camera, a notification is sent to the user stating that person's name, and that they are at the front door. Unknown faces will prompt no response. A known face has to be absent from the camera's view for at least 5 minutes to prompt another notification to be sent to the user, to prevent notification spamming.
