About the Detection of Unauthorised Human Entity in Surveillance Video from CCTV Footage project
Detection of Unauthorised Human Entity in Surveillance Video from CCTV Footage applies computer vision and deep learning to CCTV footage so that unusual or unauthorised activity can be flagged automatically, instead of relying on a person watching screens for hours.
In this build: Video frames are analysed to tell authorised people from unauthorised entities and trigger an alert.
ProjectNet offers Detection of Unauthorised Human Entity in Surveillance Video from CCTV Footage as a Cybersecurity final year project for B.E / B.Tech (CSE, IT, Cyber Security), BCA, MCA, M.Tech and B.Sc Computer Science. It comes with source code, a project report, a PPT and an installation guide, so you can set it up, understand every module and explain it confidently in your review and viva.
Problem statement
Manual monitoring of surveillance video is tiring, error-prone and does not scale across many cameras; important events are often noticed only after the incident. This project analyses video frames automatically, recognises people and their behaviour and raises an alert when something suspicious happens.
Existing system vs proposed system
Existing system
Traditional CCTV systems only record video. Operators must watch live feeds or review footage later, so incidents are easily missed and response is slow.
Proposed system
The proposed system reads video frames, detects people with a deep-learning model, classifies their activity or identity status and generates an alert with the relevant frame for the operator.
Key features of Detection of Unauthorised Human Entity in Surveillance Video from CCTV Footage
- Processes recorded CCTV footage or a live camera feed
- Person detection with a deep-learning model
- Classification of normal, suspicious or unauthorised behaviour
- Automatic alert with the relevant frame saved as evidence
- Operator dashboard with event history
- Adjustable detection threshold
System modules
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Video input and frame extraction | Reads video files or a camera stream and extracts frames. |
| Preprocessing | Resizes frames, reduces noise and applies background subtraction. |
| Person detection | Locates people in each frame using a CNN-based detector. |
| Activity / entity classification | Classifies behaviour or checks whether the person is authorised. |
| Alert generation | Raises on-screen, log or e-mail alerts and stores evidence frames. |
| Dashboard | Shows detections, alerts and history to the operator. |
How the system works
- Video is loaded or streamed from a camera.
- Frames are extracted and preprocessed.
- A deep-learning model detects people in each frame.
- Behaviour or identity is classified.
- Suspicious events trigger an alert with a saved frame.
- The operator reviews alerts on the dashboard.
Technology stack

| Software | Python 3.8+, pip, Npcap / libpcap where live capture is used |
Testing and evaluation
Detection precision, recall, false-alarm rate and frames-per-second processing speed are the main measures.
