Advanced Surveillance and Locking System

Generally most of the surveillance systems provide only live feed, so in order to find any suspicious activity one needs to go through the entire feed. So, to overcome this, we have created a surveillance system using raspberry pi which identifies humans using image processing and sends it to our e-mail using SMTP protocol. We find this opulent technology particularly to be useful in safe lockers or in restricted area entrances. So we have included a locking mechanism which can be controlled only by the authorized person from anywhere in the world. When the raspi-camera identifies a human it takes a picture and sends it to the e-mail, then once we see the picture we can act accordingly. E-speak (a python library) is used to convey the message via a speaker. The whole setup needs only 10Watts of power supply from a power bank thus making it portable. Most of the biometric security devices can be easily manipulated thus making them unreliable. Our novel project can overcome this heist, since we have the full control on whom to allow and whom to restrict.
