This security system provides a cost-efficient alternative solution to intelligent security systems by using a standard webcam, personal computer, and a PIC microcontroller. This system uses a program developed in NI-LabVIEW which uses image processing. The said program only records the camera input once motion is detected, which reduces the duration of the video footage, disk space needed, as well as the time taken to review the recording. Furthermore, the camera continuously pans the area by using a PIC microcontroller and a servo motor. This feature allows the camera to cover areas outside its regular field-of-view.
