It is always easier to identify yourself rather than to identify somebody else. Due to its particular nature, Domus is used by mainly three category of people :

• The Domus Team
• Projects developers and research group members
• Visitors

But a particular kind of people can “come and spy” from time to time in this uninhabited plateform. We denote these people as intruders, and have enhanced the apartment with capabilities to recognize these people, and to defend itself (meaning defending the privacy of the Domus Team).

We used OpenCV with the entry door camera, running face recognition on a server. If an intruder is detected, the door locks once the intruder is inside, and the apartment plays Finish death metal for one hour.
