Introduction

(Back to top)

• This is a security camera software which detects any intruder and alerts the owner .
• This is the basic prototype , we'll make it un-hack-able by using microphone and eliminating every possible hack to fool our software.
• Many issues are up-for-grabs. Check them out from issues tab.

Technologies used:

• Opencv (cv2) tutorial

How it works?

We take a snapshot of the room , lets call this base.jpg. Now , the code continuously scan the current frame and subtract it from base.jpg. If the difference is more than a threshold , we'll consider a breach happening.
