Cat Detector

Motion detector with Telegram controls and notifications used to spy on my cats when I'm not at home.

Requirements

  • Webcam
  • Telegram bot
  • Chat ID
  • Docker

Webcam

Any webcam recognized by the computer will work, it is streamed in http://0.0.0.0:8888

Telegram bot

To control and receive notifications, you will need to create a Telegram bot (using Botfather bot in Telegram for example https://t.me/botfather).

Chat ID

You don't want other people to be monitoring and viewing your cats' photos, so you'll need to create a chat on Telegram, add your bot and get the chat ID (there are many bots in Telegram that returns your chat ID like https://telegram.im/@rawdatabot).

Docker

Just run the image introducing your bot token and chat id with:

docker run -e BOT_TOKEN=[YOUR_BOT_TOKEN] -e CHAT_ID=[YOUR_CHAT_ID] ghcr.io/r-dvl/cat-detector:latest

And now enjoy watching them destroy your home.
