Smart video surveillance is an IOT-based application that leverages the complete advantage of the internet. The CCTV technology has evolved exponentially from simple video footage monitoring to today’s intelligent systems that are capable of identifying abnormal events or behaviors. The system comprises a network of security cameras & collective functions, and it monitors video feeds on an internal system of monitors. The proposed system not only intimates about the presence of any person in the premises, but also provides more security by recording the activity of that person. While leaving the premises, the user can activate the system by entering a password and the system starts working with detection of motion refining to human detection, followed by counting humans in the room. It also notifies neighbors about the presence of an intruder by turning on an alarm. The same notification is sent to the user through SMS and e-mail as well.
