Integrated camera, USB camera or CSI/MIPI Raspberry Pi camera

Software

The project contains a requirements.txt with all the Python packages used. The versions described the ones used during development and testing.

Virtual environments are recommended (virtualenv, Anaconda ...)

• Python3
• OpenCV
• Imutils
• Numpy

Objectives

• Implement a detection system that can handle interior lighting conditions and exterior light interference
• Export video fragments when movement is detected
• Export a general log of the system
• Create an easy to use configuration file
• Mark the moving objects of the image to ease monitoring
• Perform object classification using CNNs in order to tag the moving element or to filter valid movements(example: exclude animals, cleaning robots ...)
• Allow easy backup of the exported files (could be as simple as copying the videos and logs to a file synchronization folder like Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive)
