Abstract
The wide spread cases of theft resulted in the need for designing and implementing an effective and reliable intrusion detection system. An attack is a common phenomenon in homes, offices, factories and public institutions. With the use of a technology, motion can be detected by measuring change in speed of an object under a camera view in restricted areas such as server rooms, offices and so on. The motion detector is used as an intrusion detector and sends security alarm to the user, the security administrator. In this study, we have employed the built in camera in Laptop for capturing live video stream and we developed a system capable of detecting suspicious activity in a restricted area and then generating an alarm automatically. Once motion is detected, the system sends an email message automatically to the user, the security administrator.
