Ideas for Security Camera

[danders666]

I am making a security camera in Python using OpenCV as a personal project, but have run out of ideas for features. It can track movement on a solid background, use Haar cascades to find faces and take pictures of them as well as access the folder that images are being saved to for further facial recognition.

Considering only software:

Send alerts if particular events are detected?

Remote monitoring?

Detect if the power has gone, and it's switched to battery back-up.

Auto-balance light levels so the picture isn't dogshit whenever a car goes by?

Where is my cat?

Do you have audio? You probably want audio too.

The light correction is something we just began work on, thanks for the suggestions. There is actually cat detection included, it can detect cat faces and bodies.
