Abstract—Nowadays, the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV)
surveillance system is being utilized in order to keep peace and
provide security to people. There are several defects in the video
surveillance system, such as: picture is indistinct, anomalies cannot
be identified automatically, a lot of storage spaces are needed
to save the surveillance information, and prices remain relatively
high. This paper describes the design and implementation of a
low-cost system monitoring based on Raspberry Pi, a single board
computer which follows Motion Detection algorithm written in
Python as a default programming environment. In addition,
the system uses the motion detection algorithm to significantly
decrease storage usage and save investment costs. The algorithm
for motion detection is being implemented on Raspberry Pi, which
enables live streaming camera along with detection of motion. The
live video camera can be viewed from any web browser, even from
mobile in real-time.
