Brglr

Brglr (because who needs vowels?) is an intruder detection application that will text an image of a potential intruder to your phone.

It was made for the Simpleweb hacknight sponsored by Twilio.

Prerequisites

  • OpenCV
  • twilio-python
  • imgurpython
  • gtk (Only if you want the redundant UI otherwise you can remove gtk if you remove the startup UI)

How?

Uses Collins et. al method for differential images, with a specified threshold. The current frame is then taken and written to an image.

The image is uploaded to imgur and a link is attached to the body of the message sent using Twilio. Once MMS is available through Twilio in the UK it would be nice to use their MediaUrl property.

Running

Assuming all prerequisties are installed.

python brglr.py
