## Description

A Python-based camera system designed for headless operation on Raspberry Pi computers using picamera and OpenCV for remote security monitoring with motion tracking capabilities. The software captures timelapse and motion tracking images or videos separately or together, supports long exposure night photography, and includes automatic twilight transitions based on light threshold settings. Rclone integration allows secure synchronization of media files to remote storage services like cloud providers. A built-in web server provides LAN access to image and video files from any browser. Configuration is managed through config.py file or whiptail menu system.
