Abstract:
Nowadays CCTV cameras are almost everywhere in Bangladesh and the number is
increasing rapidly. This CCTV footage is still manually observed and it is too hard for a
human to keep eyes on every single camera continuously which is boring and most of the
time, because of human weaknesses, could be missed.
As a result, various types of incidents occur, which could have been prevented by taking
necessary steps in time. During such various movements a large number of cars, shops,
government, and private properties are destroyed, maybe by setting things on fire or
breaking things that caused great loss to the country. Or people in danger do not get the
help they need in time.
These days CCTV's and the internet are very cheap. These being used everywhere, CCTV's
can be found in every corner of the road, school, college, university, and markets. But there
is a lack of an efficient system to use this CCTV smartly. As a result, storage is wasted
because they are recording all the time. But a smart system can be turned on recording
automatically just whenever it needs to record. And regular CCTV systems do not send
notifications or alarms in a proper way. So, most of the time crucial events are missed just
because this footage is being checked manually. So, the main purpose of using CCTV being
failed. People does not get help at right time and fail to secure their properties.
So, we developed a video surveillance system (web application) that will detect fire, hand
gestures, and suspicious or unwanted human beings quickly and will inform (Email, SMS
and Web notifications) the authorities about these unwanted incidents with proper evidence
(photos and videos). It will be possible to save from the huge loss of life and property. And
people can get the necessary help urgently.
