DIY-MultiCamera-Security-System-with-SecureFileStorageServer-facialRec-motion-audio-alerts

Using Python Flask backend and with HTML/JS/CSS frontend. Able to efficiently handle multiple camera streams using threading. Also has a built in file storage server, so you can quickly upload files to share among family members. Revamped UI to look like professional security software.

Overview:

• Primarily using openCV and Flask module to create a LAN server that will stream multiple USB camera live feeds, while allowing user to download motion triggered footage directly from any device on the network. Also has a built in file server so you can upload any file from any device on the network. This is to help family members quickly share files.
• Using JQuery JS in the backend to allow download links to .mp4 files

Step1: Install all of these modules:

• From flask import Flask, render_template, Response, request, jsonify
• import cv2
• import threading
• from datetime import datetime
• import os
• import shutil
• import json
• import psutil
• from werkzeug.utils import secure_filename
• from gtts import gTTS

STEP 2: Modify code to your needs:

• Change IP address in the START_SERVER.bat file
• Change IP address to yours in 'get_json.js' inside 'static' folder
• Change IP address to yours in 'index.html' inside 'templates' folder
• Change IP address to yours in 'familyserver.html' inside 'templates' folder
• Change IP address to yours in 'archive.html' inside 'templates' folder

STEP 3: connect up to 2 usb cameras and run 'START_SERVER.bat'

• Open browser, go to http://[ip address]:[portnumber] to see live feed, access camera archives, and server files. You can also use the new better UI.

CONTROLS:

• You can click on 'Camera Archive' to view .mp4 clips of recordings that were tripped by your camera

• You can click on 'Family Server' to view a Drag&Drop interface to quickly upload files and share with anyone on your network

• 'Indoor Security' switch ON (When you're not home) --> Will save pictures of anyfaces detected. Applies to Camera #2 only

• 'Indoor Security' switch OFF (When you're home) --> You can still preview live and will run facial detection, but will not save anything

• 'Outdoor Security' switch ON --> Will give audio alerts! Will also take ~10sec clips and save to server when motion is triggered

• 'Outdoor Security' switch OFF --> Will block audio alerts! Will record any video, but you can still preview live

STEP 4 (OPTIONAL): Haar classifers

• Comment lines 21/22 depending on what haar classifier you want to use for USB camera #2

STEP 5 (OPTIONAL): Access files outside of LAN

• Download 'Google backup & sync' and sync folder to google drive automatically
