After setting up Raspberry pi switch it off. Then attach the camera to the raspberry pi and turn it on again.

Then use the Spyder IDE and write the given code.

Python File 1 - Temp.py (Main File)

Temp.py is the main file and it uses the functions created in Person1.py file.

The program counts the number of people going in and out of the elevator and if the number of people inside minus number of people outside is greater than 4 a beep sound is produced.

"Number of people entering the elevator- Number of People leaving the elevator > 4"

Beep sound is produced.
