Sistema de vigilância open source e customizável

Abstract

Surveillance systems lack customizable solutions. Despite the existence of cameras on the market that handle both recording and storage of images, they do so at low resolution and with severe memory space limitations. Even the most sophisticated monitoring equipment, such as those with image recognition capabilities, restrict the user from enhancing these features due to the software being closed source. Furthermore, solutions provided by public or private security, when available, may use the collected images for their own benefit, affecting individual privacy. This work proposes a solution that is easy to implement, equipped with ready-to-use tools, and fully customizable as it is open source. Given these characteristics, the so-called Self-Sovereign Camera System (SSCS) emerges. The development of this system resulted in software components for video surveillance such as recognition, storage, and indexing, all available as open source.
