About The Project

Security Camera is an easy to use GUI app that provides functionalities similar to typical software of a surveillance camera (or even more!). Some of the currently available features:

• neat GUI
• continuous and emergency recording
• motion detection
• buffer for emergency recordings
• system and email notifications
• uploading recordings to google drive
• various recording and preview modes
• saving settings to JSON
• debug log
• adjustable parameters (check usage)

The project came to life as a final assignment for a Python Course at the AGH University. It was created in collaboration with @Xavvee.
