The Christmas Present Peeker Trap uses an ESP32 Cam board, photoresistor, buzzer, and connected app to catch even the sneakiest of gift glimpsers
A project called the Christmas Present Peeker Trap utilizes an ESP32 Cam board, photoresistor, buzzer, and a connected app to catch individuals trying to sneak a peek at Christmas gifts. The setup involves microcontrollers, a camera, and software to record the culprit, send alerts, and save videos to the cloud. The Makerinator details the process of creating the trap, which required troubleshooting and multiple iterations to perfect. The final trap successfully detects present peekers, triggers a buzzer, sends alerts, records a video, and even notifies Santa. This project adds to the Makerinator's collection of creative and entertaining tech endeavors.
