ABSTRACT

A surveillance camera is fixed in many places of our surrounding. However, in every surveillance system, it only records the video and gets stored in the Storage drives. To make the surveillance camera to the next level, we are using Open CV technology to stream the video. If it detects the human in the camera, few seconds of video have been captured and sent to the admin via SMTP protocol.

 

BLOCK DIAGRAM

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION

In the above Block diagram, Raspberry Pi is used as the core system, where the camera is connected to the Raspberry Pi to perform image processing.

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Raspberry Pi system, is used for the surveillance system, by adding further features like detecting persons. The camera will be projected in a certain direction, whenever it detects the person it will capture the video clip of a minute and sends to the admin through Email. So that surveillance system is improved using open CV technology.

HARDWARE REQUIRED

• Raspberry Pi
• Power Adapter
• HDMI to VGA converter (optional, when connecting to Monitor)
• Camera

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• SD Card Formatter
• Win32 Disk Imager (or) Etcher

 

LIBRARIES USED

• Cv2
• Time library (For Delay functions)

 

CONCLUSION

By using SMTP protocol, admin gets the video whenever someone entering into the house. This is an advanced surveillance system when compared to a normal surveillance camera, which simply records the video. For better quality of image Py camera or IPcamera, can be used.
