configuration

There is a configuration file needed to tell the script where your camera and mqtt are.

camera:
  host: 192.168.1.1
  user: user
  pass: pass
mqtt:
  host: 192.168.1.2
  user: user
  pass: pass

How to install in systemd:

cp doorbell.service to /etc/systemd/system
systemctl enable doorbell.service
service doorbell start
service doorbell status

I have many incarnations of this script and I have used a few python face_reconigtion library's but continue to struggle with accuracy. I am using cvlib now, but it seems to pick up a lot of cars and miss a lot of faces. With the ageitgey/face_recognition project I seemed to pick up a lot of shadows.
