Close-Circuit Telegram Vision revolutionizes location tracking with its open-source design and Telegram API integration. Offering precise tracking within 50-100 meters, users can monitor others in real-time for logistics or safety, redefining how we navigate our surroundings

Usage example:

1. Installation

git clone https://github.com/IvanGlinkin/CCTV.git
cd CCTV
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Registering Telegram creds

visit https://my.telegram.org/auth web-site
input your phone number
input the confirmation/login code
follow "API development tools" link
register the application
get App's api_id, api_hash, title and name

3. Settings
   Upon first launch script will create config.yaml file and request all needed settings.
   This settings can be manually changed later:

api_config:
  api_hash: ***
  api_id: 00000000
  phone: "+123456789000"
location:
  lat: 51.51404
  lon: -0.15063
  meters: 1200
misc:
  speed_kmh: 50
  timesleep: 30

4. Launch

python3 start.py

5. Read the data by opening ./reports-html/_combined_data.html
