1. General

This application performs face recognition (usually in motion detection) followed by notification you by uploading captured images to your Telegram group. You can run it on any self-hosted tiny device, like Banana Pi M64 or Raspberry Pi 4 as I do.

IMPORTANT: please do not forget to configure preliminary generated both token and channel params under telegram section of your config/aicam.toml config file.
