Purpose: To learn the Android SDK and protect my home from burglars
Technologies: Android frontend, shell scripts +
motion backend
Details: The Android app connects to my home server via SSH and displays the
images taken by 2 webcams. If the alarm system has been switched on and it detects
motion, it sends a notification to all who have installed the app. Also it starts
playing loud music, hopefully scaring the burglars to leave the building :)
