Abstract

The purpose of this work is improving the functionality and usability of a low cost commercial surveillance system. The original system provides simple motion detection and sends alert messages by means of FTP or email. The modified system adds a software layer to the original system for implementing desirable image processing features. Particularly, people detection functionality was implemented by means of Oriented Gradient Histograms. The modified system also adds the use of Telegram messaging service for sending alerts. When the camera detects motion, the modified system improves the alert information with the results of the intruder detection algorithm. System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to compare the usability of both systems and the results showed that the modified system improved the original one in terms of usability.
