-# Motion_Detection_Using_Python
+# Motion Detection Using Python
+
+This repository contains a Python program for motion detection using the OpenCV library. The program allows you to detect motion in a video stream or a webcam feed and highlight the areas where motion is detected. It also provides the option to save the output video with the motion highlights.
+
+## Features
+
+- Real-time motion detection: The program continuously analyzes the video frames and detects any motion occurring in the scene, providing instant feedback.
+- Motion highlighting: Detected motion is visually highlighted in the video stream, making it easy to identify the areas where motion is occurring.
+- Adjustable sensitivity: You can fine-tune the motion detection sensitivity by modifying the threshold value in the configuration file. This allows you to customize the detection algorithm to suit your specific needs.
+- Configurable minimum area: The program allows you to set a minimum contour area threshold. Any detected motion with an area below this threshold will be disregarded. You can adjust this value based on your requirements.
+- Gaussian blur for noise reduction: The frames are preprocessed with a Gaussian blur to reduce noise and enhance the accuracy of motion detection.
+- Save output video: The program provides an option to save the processed video with the motion highlights as an output file. This allows you to review and analyze the detected motion later.
+- Executable file provided: You can also run the motion detector using the provided executable file, making it easier to use the program without Python dependencies.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:
+
+   ```
+   git clone https://github.com/alok-2002/Motion_Detection_Using_Python.git
+   ```
+
+2. Navigate to the project directory:
+
+   ```
+   cd Motion_Detection_Using_Python
+   ```
+
+3. Install the required dependencies:
+
+   ```
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running with Python
+
+To run the motion detection program using Python, use the following command:
+
+```
+python motion_detection.py
+```
+
+The program will open the webcam and start detecting motion. The areas where motion is detected will be highlighted in real-time. If you want to save the output video, press the 's' key.
+
+Press the 'q' key to quit the program and stop the motion detection.
+
+### Running with the Executable File
+
+If you prefer not to run the program with Python, you can use the provided executable file. Simply double-click the `motion_detection.exe` file to start the motion detection program. The functionality and usage remain the same as running with Python.
+
+Please note that the executable file is platform-specific, so make sure to use the appropriate file for your operating system.
+
+## Configuration
+
+You can modify the program's behavior by adjusting the configuration settings in the `config.json` file. The available configuration options are:
+
+- `MIN_AREA`: The minimum contour area (in pixels) to be considered as motion. You can increase or decrease this value based on your needs.
+- `THRESHOLD_SENSITIVITY`: The sensitivity of the motion detection algorithm. Higher values will detect smaller motion, while lower values may require larger motion to be detected.
+- `BLUR_SIZE`: The size of the Gaussian blur kernel applied to the frames. Increasing this value can help reduce noise but may result in less precise motion detection.
