Smart Mailbox

The goal of this device is to remove the burden of checking the mail everyday by having a mailbox that will let people know when to get their mail. The mailbox will detect when a postal worker opens and closes the mailbox. False positives were a concern in our design so in order to counter the false positives we determined it would be fool proof to include a camera. This will then snap a picture of the mail so the owner could check the attached image in their email and determine if they actually received mail or not.
