Next Steps - The Future of Home Security

Okay, we're able to take a picture of our home every minute using a cron job (pi, not root) and we're able to view that picture from 1500 miles away through a WRT54G that only allows SSH (thanks Cox!) on our smartphone using ftpCafe.

Next, we need an alert on our phone when 2 images differ substantially - a txt is fine.

The "hard" part here is the image processing - how do you detect that 2 images differ substantially? Sending the txt is easy - twilio has taken care of that.

BTW, once you validate a phone number with twilio, how do you invalidate?

Resources : twilio, ffmpeg, motion, fswebcam, avconv
