MaskCam: How to Set Up your NVIDIA Jetson Nano as a Web-Connected Mask Detection Smart Camera
Want to turn your NVIDIA Jetson Nano into a web-connected smart camera? This video shows how to set up MaskCam, a mask detection camera implemented with NVIDIA Deepstream, YOLOv4-tiny, and TensorRT, on your own Jetson Nano. It also shows how to set up a local Docker server on your computer that can be used to remotely interact with the Nano and view detection statistics.
I worked on this project with BDTI, a technology analysis firm in the Bay Area. The project can serve as a reference design for other connected smart camera applications. It also gives a good example of how to use Docker containers for setting up web databases and using MQTT to communicate detection data.
