MingSec

MingSec is a basic home security system designed to leverage OpenCV for motion detection. It features motion detection, image/video capture, alarm responses, offline operation, a REST API for remote management, and a Kotlin app for notifications.

Features

• Motion Detection: Utilizes OpenCV to detect motion and trigger responses.
• Image Capture: Captures and uploads an image every ten minutes to Dropbox.
• Alarm Response: Captures an image and records a video if the alarm is triggered. Both are uploaded to Dropbox.
• Offline Operation: Logs all videos and images when the internet connection is down, and uploads them once the connection is restored.
• REST API: Provides endpoints for users to check the status of each camera and request images or videos.
• Kotlin Notification App: A companion mobile app developed in Kotlin that receives notifications each time an alarm is triggered.
