Security Camera Project

Overview

The Security Camera Project is designed to provide motion detection and real-time video streaming capabilities, using Python, OpenCV, and PyQt6. The software is integrated with a live video feed server, email notifications, and advanced features like motion detection and video processing, making it an essential part of security camera solutions.

This project is part of a future commercial product but is available under the MIT License for open usage. While the software can be used freely, the end product should not be redistributed in any form.
