Frequently Asked Questions

No, the facial recognition inference runs locally on the Maixduino edge AI board; an internet connection is only required to transmit remote IoT alerts to your smartphone or web console.
The system relies on the compatible camera module specified in the Maixduino kit, which interfaces directly with the board's specialized DVP camera connector for high-speed image acquisition.
The Maixduino board connects to a cloud server via network modules, allowing it to push notifications directly to the companion smartphone app or web console when an event is triggered.
