In today’s competitive environment, the security
concerns have grown tremendously. In the modern world, possession
is known to be 9/10’ths of the law. Hence, it is imperative for one to
be able to safeguard one’s property from worldly harms such as
thefts, destruction of property, people with malicious intent etc. Due
to the advent of technology in the modern world, the methodologies
used by thieves and robbers for stealing have been improving
exponentially. Therefore, it is necessary for the surveillance
techniques to also improve with the changing world. With the
improvement in mass media and various forms of communication, it
is now possible to monitor and control the environment to the
advantage of the owners of the property. The latest technologies
used in the fight against thefts and destruction are the video
surveillance and monitoring. By using the technologies, it is possible
to monitor and capture every inch and second of the area in interest.
However, so far the technologies used are passive in nature, i.e., the
monitoring systems only help in detecting the crime but do not
actively participate in stopping or curbing the crime while it takes
place. Therefore, we have developed a methodology to detect the
motion in a video stream environment and this is an idea to ensure
that the monitoring systems not only actively participate in stopping
the crime, but do so while the crime is taking place. Hence, a
system is used to detect any motion in a live streaming video and
once motion has been detected in the live stream, the software will
activate a warning system and capture the live streaming video.
