Security Camera

A Python-based security camera system that detects and tracks faces and eye movements, saves video recordings, and captures images of detected faces.

Features

• Real-time face and eye detection using Haar cascade classifiers.
• Tracks eye movements and logs directions in a text file.
• Records video when a face is detected and stops recording after no detection for a configurable duration.
• Saves images of detected faces with timestamps.
• Encoded file support for monitored individuals.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• Pickle
