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.
