Abstract
In the modern world, security and privacy are the major concerns. Due to this, security cameras are installed in all public places to monitor any suspicious activities. But the general public does not know who is behind the screen watching them, monitoring their every move. It raises both securities as well as privacy issues. Another major issue regarding security is CCTV cameras are installed in public places only. Everyone cannot afford to hire someone to monitor their homes and alert them. This makes people at risk even in their homes. These issues lead to the development of WatchDog. WatchDog is a computer vision-based smart camera surveillance system that can monitor any suspicious activity and warn the owner about it. It uses python as its base language and uses OpenCV and skimage.metric library to capture any movement within its scope of vision. It is a simple yet effective program that can resolve many issues regarding security and privacy. Key Words: Python, OpenCV, Smart-Surveillance System
