Using Computer Webcam as a Surveillance Device

Abstract

 Current line of Surveillance devices aims for  ergonomics and hardware features but lack in software  intelligence. Many of the current surveillance devices  gives support for attaching a storage which are aimed to  store the footage for a month or two. when the storage  starts to fill the software will also starts erasing the  older recording. Which leads to loss of data set aside  the inefficient way of storing the data at first place. This  project utilizes Python allows user to add several useful  features such as motion detection, record on motion  detection, intruder alarm, live feed over network, etc.
