Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, activities or other change information for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting people. Surveillance is used by governments for intelligence gathering, prevention of crime, the protection of a process, person, group or object, or the investigation of crime. In this project we design an embedded surveillance system which consists of small PIR (Pyroelectric Infrared) sensor built around a microcontroller. The system senses the signal generated by PIR sensor detecting the presence of individuals. Detecting the presence of any unauthorized person in any specific time interval, it triggers an alarm & sends a short video of the unauthorized person to the admin, asking what action to be taken. The system is also trained to recognize the admin for easy access to the admin. In case of a person wearing mask, the system would detect motion and send the picture since it can’t find a face in the frame. In this way system avoids any type of security breaches. Such a system and the algorithm is prepared with the help of raspberry pi and software’s such as python, OpenCV and smtp protocol. After the real time response from the trained system, the admin is provided with mobile app for immediate reactions for any situation. This concept can be used in many applications in our society, thus creating a secure and safe society.
