Summary

In this chapter, we used our knowledge from the previous chapter about OpenCV with what we learned in this chapter about PIR sensor interfacing using the BeagleBone board and sending e-mail using Python from the BeagleBone board to build a motion-detection camera surveillance security e-mail alert system. Instead of stopping this project here, I recommend you to try out other methods of motion detection and build the same system without a PIR sensor. There are lots of resources online on motion detection using OpenCV in real time using Python. Try setting up a system where without the PIR sensor, motion detection is performed using just the camera and an e-mail alert is sent.
