Abstract:
Nowadays, the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system is being utilized in
order to keep peace and provide security to people. There are several defects in the video
surveillance system, such as: picture is indistinct, anomalies cannot be identified
automatically, a lot of storage spaces are needed to save the surveillance information, and
prices remain relatively high. The project deals with the design and implementation of a lowcost
system monitoring based on Raspberry Pi, a single board computer which follows
Motion Detection algorithm written in Python as a default programming environment. In
addition, the system uses the motion detection algorithm to significantly decrease storage
usage and save investment costs. The algorithm for motion detection is being implemented
on Raspberry Pi, which enables live streaming camera along with detection of motion. The
live images can be viewed from any web browser even from mobile in real-time.
