Feautures:

• Always Recrod a video, or also take a snapshot
• Always Watch your webcam stream from anywhere
• Always Auto upload recorded videos into your Dropbox account
• SSL/TLS plus http basic authentication for max security
• Auto server initialization by the hosts discovery

Installations and Requirements

We Test on Windows (7-10) and fedora 24
We Download and also install python 2.7.9 (32 bit only) so that you can use the lower 2.7.x but without TLS/SSL support.

To allow a quick installation, pip is recommended
Dependencies libraries:
flask V.0.12
flask_httpauth
numpy 1.9.2
opencv 2.4 (Not tested with opencv3)
pygame
dropbox
pycrypt
For a video to record, you must copy dll files from opencv directoy opencv\sources\3rdparty\ffmpeg to python's directory, and rename to opencv_ffmpeg + [opencv version e.g 2413]

It's also impotent to fill out the conf file, pay attention to comments. For TLS/SSL support, make server's certificate and a key (optional)
Most user's password must be in sha224, you can use a generator like this

How to Run

For you excuting the server under linux and Windows open the terminal and type $python server.py. Congratulation! your webcam which has been transformed into smart security camera. Don't forget to port forward, plus you can use ddns service like noip (only in non HTTPS)

Server initialization by hosts discovery

It's time you forget from starting or stopping the sever manually
The server will always start automatically when all hosts (e.g your smartphone) do NOT reachable in the local network
plus get server's current IP address via email
Just make a hosts.txt file in the main cyber-camera directory,
Add the wanted hosts IP separated by line (make sure each host has a static ip on the local network)
Run the network.py script instead of server.py.
When your public IP has been changed, an email will be sent with the new IP.
