#security-camera

A security camera(face recognizer and motion detector) for the Raspberry Pi.

To use, first ensure OpenCV 3.0.0 OpenCV_contrib modules are installed. Then, data in the form of jpeg images must be provided to train the camera. Data must be stored in format "/SecurityCamera/s1/1.jpg" where s1, s2, s3...are the different recognized people, and 1.jpg, 2.jpg.. are the different images for the people in the database.

Make the required changes in the file conf2.json, by editing the 3 Dropbox related fields. Rename the file to conf.json, and run security_camera.py with --conf "path" where path is the path to the json file.

The program then detects if the person in front of the camera is a known person or not, as well as if there is any motion in front of the camera.

The program will uploaded images to Dropbox if motion is detected at regular intervals.

The confidence level requires some experimenting to get right. 50 seems to work for me.
