Comment on Launch HN: Seam (YC S20) – API for IoT Devices

Comments

Fantastic! I’ve been wanting this for some time.

Any plans for integrating ubiquiti cameras and access systems?

yep! It's actually on my desk right now! (https://imgur.com/a/3pAYfnx).

Colin, EE on our team, is building a test fixture for it in order to correctly simulate certain scenarios on it. I think we'll have the access system integrated in the next 4-5 weeks. The camera stuff, we're still toying with the exact API & use cases. If you have specific camera features you want supported, could you post them here or email me (sy@seam.co)?

Woot! I can't wait to try out Unifi Access with your platform.

For cameras, my initial ideas are relatively simple:

- If someone uses an access key card and is allowed entry through Unifi Access, record a clip on nearby cameras and unlock the door using connected lock.

- Once the person is verified inside by camera, auto-lock the door.

- Unlock door using HKSV (or similar platforms) facial recognition.

- Using an image recognition system to track an animal across multiple cameras and build an automatic reel of movement through an area (for wildlife cameras)
