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
