Distributed Motion Surveillance Security System (DMS³)

What Is DMS³?

Distributed Motion Surveillance Security System (DMS³) is a Go-based application that integrates third-party open-source motion detection applications (e.g., the Motion motion detection software package, or OpenCV, the Open Source Computer Vision Library) into an automated distributed motion surveillance system that:

• Using a local network, wirelessly senses when someone is "at home" and when someone is "not at home" and automatically enables or disables the surveillance system
• Through the DMS³Server, the system coordinates video stream processing, reporting, and user notification to participating device clients (e.g., a Raspberry Pi or similar) running the DMS³Client component which:
  • Greatly minimizes network congestion, particularly during high-bandwidth surveillance events of interest
  • Better utilizes device client CPU/GPU processing power: keeping stream processing on-board and distributed around the network
• Optionally, DMS³Clients can generate email reports for events of interest containing images or video using the available DMS³Mail component
• Optionally, the DMS³Server can display the current state of all reporting DMS³Clients visually through the use of the DMS³Dashboard component
• Works cooperatively with "less smart" device clients such as IP cameras (wired or WiFi), webcams, and other USB camera devices
