Smart Security System: A Surveillance System Based on OpenCV and Android Platform

Abstract

Image processing and computer vision techniques can now be implemented using computer processing. And with readily available libraries like OpenCV, it has become easier than ever to use such technologies to improve upon the traditional security systems for our benefit. By the creation of this project, we aim to make it a very easy process to secure the homes and workplaces at a relatively cheaper cost. Traditional CCTVs, in addition to being expensive, do not offer much in terms of control over devices. Our proposed system consists of developing a smart tool by which a computer or Raspberry Pi attached with a camera can be converted into a smart surveillance system. Further modules can be connected like temperature module, PIR sensor, etc. The aim of this project is to develop a smart and cost-efficient smart system and, as a result, provide a cheap and manageable option to small business owners and households.
