Am a final year engineering CS student i managed to do this on my cellphone using j2me (java)

Application is simple u need to start the app it starts monitoring the view area within 5 secs if there is an intruder or any disturbance it gives an alert and stores the disturbing objects pic

You say Use - Personal security anywhere u go with just a piece of software on any camera mobile
- Set it up to detect any suspected thief around
- As a baby monitoring device
- Users are plenty

So my idea is will i be able to commercialize it for a small amount or distribute it free ...

question is will anyone buy it ?

@Pathik I ll get u the drawbacks n disadvantages written from u for my documentation
LOL... i ll

thats why its supposed to issue an alarm or grab a pic of the thief ... u r bound to be alerted ... else run the app in silent mode ... it just grabs the pic of the intrusion ...

I remember trying out a software like this in my SE K810i. I don't remember its name. It didn't work for me.

Using infra-red is a dumb idea, as the infra-red on most phones has a really pathetic range. He's probably using something like "Take a photo if the image on screen changes"
