A camera for your fridge, not your staff.
It wakes when the door opens, reads the shelf, and turns it into a stock count. It never streams, and it never orders anything on its own.
Four parts worth knowing about.
OV3660
A 2 MP wide-angle sensor, pointed at the shelf
Wide enough to cover a full cabinet from one top corner. It reads stock, not the room, and it is never pointed at your team.
ESP32-S3
An on-device gate that keeps it asleep
The sensor and the radio stay down until the door actually opens. A quiet fridge sends nothing, so it costs nothing to leave running.
PORTS ×4
Four openings, pinholes not a grille
Nothing for grease to sit in, and nothing a wipe-down can block. The front face is otherwise smooth, with no buttons to catch.
HMAC
Every frame signed before it leaves
Each upload carries a signature and a single-use nonce, so an intercepted frame cannot be replayed back at your workspace.
Mounted where the stock is.
Top corner of a cabinet, angled down. One frame per door-open, counted and filed against the shelf it came from.

The Fridge Pair
Two devices, one fridge. The AI Camera goes inside and counts what is actually on the shelf. Mind the Waste goes on the door and tells the team what to use up first. One looks, one speaks up.
Both are built on the same idea London has been refining for a century: that the only information a busy person absorbs is the kind they can read at a glance, sideways, in the half-second before they walk past. That is why one is a roundel on the door at eye height with icons instead of numbers, and why the other reports a count rather than a video feed. A kitchen at the end of a double shift has about the same attention span as a platform at rush hour.
