Live Face Detection CCTV Camera
CHAPTER 2: FEASIBILITY REPORT
2.1 Literature Survey:
Face detection and recognition have become essential in modern security and
surveillance systems. Several studies and technologies contribute to this field, enhancing
accuracy and efficiency.
➢ OpenCV-Based Face Detection
OpenCV provides powerful pre-trained models like Haar cascades and deep
learning-based DNN modules for real-time face detection. Viola-Jones (2001) introduced a
robust face detection algorithm, which remains a foundation for modern advancements.
➢ Deep Learning in Face Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and deep learning models like FaceNet
and Dlib improve face recognition accuracy. Research highlights the effectiveness of deep
learning in identifying individuals with minimal error rates.
➢ Anomaly Detection in Surveillance
Recent studies explore detecting suspicious behavior, such as covering the face
with a mask or handkerchief. Machine learning models, including YOLO (You Only Look
Once) and SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector), enhance real-time object detection in
CCTV systems.
➢ Automated Threat Response Systems
AI-driven security systems, like automatic screen locking on detecting threats, are
gaining traction. Literature supports the use of automated responses to enhance workplace
and home security. This survey highlights the advancements in face detection CCTV
technology and the integration of AI-driven security mechanisms for real-time surveillance
and threat prevention.

2.1.1 List of Tasks:
1] Planning and Research:-
• Define Project Goals: Clearly outline the system’s purpose — e.g., to detect
and recognize faces in real-time for enhanced security.
• Literature Survey: Research existing surveillance systems, face detection
algorithms, and recognition technologies. Identify strengths, weaknesses, and
gaps to address in your project.
• Select Technologies: Decide on the programming language (e.g., Python),
libraries (e.g., OpenCV, TensorFlow, Dlib), and hardware (e.g., CCTV camera,
processing unit).
.
2] Hardware and Software Setup:-
• Select Hardware: Choose a high-resolution CCTV camera, a computer with a
capable processor (preferably with GPU support), and optional power backup.
• Test the Camera Setup: Ensure the camera captures video streams in real-
time with clear resolution.
• Install Required Software:
- Install Python and relevant libraries (OpenCV, Dlib, TensorFlow, etc.).
- Set up a development environment (e.g., VSCode, Python).
3] System Development :-
A. Face Detection Module
• Implement Detection Algorithm: Use algorithms like Haar Cascade (fast but
basic) or CNN-based (more accurate) for real-time face detection.
• Handle Variations: Ensure detection works under different lighting, angles,
and distances.
• Optimize Performance: Minimize lag to maintain real-time detection speed.

B. Face Recognition Module:
• Create a Face Database: Store known faces with corresponding IDs (e.g.,
authorized, blacklisted).
• Match Faces: Compare detected faces to the database for identification.
• Handle Unknown Faces: Ensure the system flags unrecognized individuals.
C. Alert System:
• Define Alert Triggers: Set conditions for generating alerts (e.g., when an
unauthorized or blacklisted face is detected)
• Implement Alert Mechanism: Create notifications via sound alarms,
emails, or mobile push notifications
• Ensure Instant Response: Optimize to avoid delay in alerts.
D. User Interface (UI):
• Design the Interface: Create a user-friendly dashboard to:
- View live camera feeds.
- Display detected faces and recognition results.
- Manage the face database (add/remove faces).
• Ensure Accessibility: Make sure security staff can operate the UI with minimal
training.
4] Testing and Optimization:-
• Test in Different Environments: Indoor, outdoor, low-light, crowded
areas, etc.
• Evaluate Performance: Measure detection speed, recognition accuracy,
and alert response time.
• Identify and Fix Issues: Resolve false positives, missed detections, or
performance delays.
• Fine-Tune Thresholds: Adjust sensitivity to balance accuracy and speed.

5] Coding:
This stage will take the design from the previous stage and implement the code
in Python language For understanding Face detection is a crucial technology used in
various applications such as security systems, authentication, and human-computer
interaction. In this report, we present a real-time face detection system using Python
and OpenCV. Also the queries are clear by our guide Mr.Gajmal.S.A there are some
problems in coding phase but proper guidance and reference help to clear the problem
6] System Restructuring:
System restructuring refers to the process of reorganizing and improving the
existing system architecture or workflow to achieve better performance, scalability,
maintainability, or to incorporate new features. In the context of a live face detection
system with CCTV cameras, system restructuring could involve several aspects
ranging from improving the underlying architecture, modularizing components,
optimizing processing pipelines, integrating more advanced models, or scaling the
system to handle more cameras or larger datasets.
7] Final Report:
This stage will aim at producing a document containing all the other
documents and code that has been produced at each stage. In our Training and
Placement Portal project we get most help from our respected principal sir Mr.
Nalwade.R.B Our Head of Department of Computer Engineering Mr Gajmal.S.A. and
our Project guide Mr. Gajmal.S.A.
The Live Face Detection CCTV Camera project integrates real-time face
recognition with intelligent security features. Using OpenCV and deep learning
models, the system detects faces, identifies individuals, and provides real-time alerts.
A key feature includes detecting if a person has a handkerchief tied around their
mouth, triggering an automatic computer lock for security. Additionally, the system
displays the name and age of detected individuals and records both video and audio in
a single file for comprehensive surveillance. This advanced CCTV solution enhances
security by combining AI-driven face recognition with proactive threat
response mechanisms.
