A Novel Approach for Video Surveillance using Frame Comparison Algorithm

This paper describes a method to extend the capabilities of surveillance system. As in traditional surveillance system, our method also makes use of CCTV camera. However traditional system simply records the environment which can be monitored once the theft or intrusion is notified. This requires tremendous video storage and cause incredible financial burden to the user. In our system, adjacent frames are compared using frame comparison algorithm and if difference exceeds a threshold value, security alarm will be generated automatically to notify the user.
