This Python script monitors an RTSP camera stream for motion detection and sends SMS alerts using Twilio when motion is detected. It uses OpenCV to process the video feed and detect motion in real-time, making it ideal for security and surveillance applications.

RTSP Camera Motion Detection with Twilio Alerts

This project is a Python script that monitors an RTSP stream from a camera for motion detection. When motion is detected, it sends an SMS alert using the Twilio API. The script processes the video stream in real-time using OpenCV and detects motion by comparing the current frame with the previous one.

About

This script is designed to monitor a live RTSP video stream from a camera and detect any motion. Upon detecting motion, it sends an SMS notification to a specified phone number using Twilio. This setup is ideal for security systems where real-time alerts are crucial. The script captures video frames, processes them to identify motion, and alerts the user by drawing a bounding box around the detected motion and sending an SMS.

Features

• RTSP Stream Monitoring: Connects to an RTSP camera stream for real-time video feed.
• Motion Detection: Uses frame differencing to detect motion.
• SMS Alerts: Sends an SMS alert via Twilio when motion is detected.
• Real-time Video Display: Shows the video feed and motion detection status in real-time.
