# DIY IoT Doorbell Camera with MEMENTO
## Overview
https://youtu.be/DhoupbBY6yQ
## Doorbell Camera
Build a simple IoT doorbell camera using Adafruit's MEMENTO. Press a mini LED arcade button to snap a photo and display it on an Adafruit IO Dashboard. The electronics are housed in a 3D printed snap fit enclosure.
## **Adafruit MEMENTO Camera**
Adafruit's MEMENTO Camera Board is a development board with everything you need to create programmable camera and vision projects. The OV5640 camera module onboard the MEMENTO is a 5MP camera sensor auto-focus motor and a JPEG encoder built-in for reducing the image size. The ESP32-S3 module on the MEMENTO runs CircuitPython and sends images over WiFi to [Adafruit.io](https://io.adafruit.com/).
## Code with CircuitPython
This doorbell is programmed with CircuitPython which makes it easy to modify the project's code to fit your needs.
## An IoT Doorbell with Privacy in Mind
This DIY doorbell won't share its [data with 3rd parties](https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/home-security-cameras/ring-google-simplisafe-could-share-footage-with-police-a1047736080/) as it adheres to [Adafruit's IoT Bill of Rights](https://www.adafruit.com/iotbor/#:~:text=Consumers%2C%20not%20companies%2C%20own%20the,by%20Internet%20of%20Things%20devices.). Data sent from the doorbell to Adafruit IO will be stored on a _private_ Adafruit IO feed, the photos captured by the doorbell are only viewable by you.
