The increasing rate of violent incidents and security threats in public areas demands
intelligent surveillance systems capable of real-time monitoring and automated threat
detection. Traditional CCTV systems rely heavily on manual observation, which is
inefficient and prone to human error. This paper proposes a real-time AI-based
surveillance system that detects violent activities and weapons using deep learning
techniques. The system integrates YOLOv8s for high-speed object detection, identifying persons and weapons such as guns and knives, with a hybrid CNN model for temporal violence classification.
Additionally, a real using Telegram API ensures immediate -time alert mechanism -LSTM notification to authorities upon detecting suspicious events. A Flask-based web dashboard is developed to provide live
camera streaming and video upload functionalities, enabling flexible monitoring. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed system achieves an accuracy of approximately 94%, with low latency suitable for real-time deployment. The system demonstrates high reliability in diverse conditions and offers a scalable
solution for smart surveillance applications.
