Webcam Security System: Motion Detection and Email Alerts in Python (ft. OpenCV, SMTP, Gmail)

Project Summary: Basic Home Security System using Python and Webcam

This project demonstrates how to create a basic home security system using Python and a webcam. The system is designed to detect motion and capture images when motion is detected, while also sending email alerts to the user.

Key features:

Motion detection: The system uses the OpenCV library to detect motion by analyzing the differences between consecutive frames captured by the webcam.
Image capture: When motion is detected, the system captures an image of the scene using the webcam.
Email alerts: The system sends an email notification with the captured image as an attachment to the user's specified email address.
Customization: The code can be easily modified to include additional functionalities like video recording, integration with IoT devices, or connecting to a cloud-based storage service.
The project serves as an introduction to computer vision and home automation concepts using Python. It showcases the potential of using Python and readily available libraries to create simple but effective home security solutions.

Viewers can follow along with the code and customize it to fit their specific needs. It is a great opportunity to learn about image processing, motion detection techniques, email integration, and working with webcams in Python.

Note: When using such a system, it's important to be aware of legal and ethical considerations, respect privacy rights, and comply with local laws and regulations.
