C. Can’t stop Theft or Crime
Cameras enable users to record footage for later
viewing, and to help nab criminals, and receive justice from
the law. They cannot, however, stop a crime when it is in
progress. It will just record the whatever is happening it won’t
tell us at that particular moment.[1]
VI. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The aim is to make a smart surveillance system using
Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi-Camera. OpenCV is used to
detect the motion whenever someone comes within its range it
detects the motion, Pi-Camera activates and captures an
image. This image is then stored in the system and finds for a
human face in the captured image using Open CV and Python.
The detected human face is then captured. This is done
through using the cascading files in the XML format. So we
use these cascading files and see whether is there any person
or not. There are different types of cascading file for different
purposes, eg:- full body cascading file , upper body cascading
file , face cascading file. Once a image is captured using these Fig 2:- flowchart of working model
cascading files we mark an outline according to whichever
cascading model we have used. Then if there is any moment VII. CODE
then an image is captured, After that image is generated and

to identify only unauthorized persons. This helps to overcome
the drawback of CCTV and Motion Detection systems which Steps to run the code
only monitor or alert host based on the motion detected
whether it is authorized person or not. Open the terminal and run
“sudo raspi-config”
Select Interface Options , then Pi Camera and toggle
on. Press Finish and exit.
You can verify that the camera works by running
“raspistill -o test.jpg”
It will save a image from your camera in your
current directory names as test,jpg.
The project uses OpenCV to detect the images from
the live feed so we need to install that and create a
virtual environment for running our code.
By typing these commands we will enter into
“ source ~/.profile”
“workon cv”
To get emails when objects are detected, you'll need
to make a couple modifications to the mail.py file.

VIII. CONCLUSION
In this project we have successful created a Smart
Security Camera using the Internet Of Things (IOT). HD
Surveillance Camera is set up in the area which we want
to monitor, video containing detected motion is detected and
live video can be accessed from anywhere just by entering the
static IP assigned to the System in a web browser. Another
welfare point for the user is that, the proposed system is
extremely portable making it easily installable at any desired
location without any constraints of wire fittings and system
compatibility. In conclusion, the proposed system is the by-
product of the comprehended constraints faced by the users,
and now they can have what they desired for in the same price
and less maintenance, thus ensuring their welfare.
