Communication in a security system allows the user to receive critical information, analyze the data and decide what to do after obtaining the information he needs. The security system can be divided into 4 parts, the visual component, the speech component, the text component, and lastly the integration. This report investigates the compatibility of the Raspberry Pi with existing video libraries. The performance of real-time video streaming from the Raspberry Pi is investigated to prove the Raspberry Pi’s capability to be used as a security system. Quality of the video is important for security. Hence, this report gives an assessment of how the video quality affects the Raspberry Pi. Can the Raspberry Pi support image detection functionalities? In this report, we study how capable the Raspberry Pi can be used to solve video security issues.
