Security System With Face Detection

• 

  SMS notification

Inspiration

I wanted to create this to see the number of kids who dingdong ditch my aunt's house everyweekend

What it does

It goes through live feed and once it detects a face or body it start's recording and saves the recording after that it send's a message to the User through SMS

How I built it

I built it using Python's Open Cv and used the face and body haar cascades to detect the objects. I then used Twillio's Api to send the SMS

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenge was that it does'nt send an SMS in every frame it detects face or body, and it does'nt stop recording immediately it stops detecting a face in the frame .

What I learn't

I learn't a lot about Haarcascades and Open-CV,Numpy and the twillio api. In all I've improvesd my knowledge about object detection and corner detection

What's next for Security System With Face Detection

Next time I would like to Create a dataset with familiar faces so it notifies you when it sees let's say "Ian" in the garden.
