This was great! One issue that I ran into (because I'm stupid and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing ha ha) is that the cam window has to be selected and in the foreground for the waitKey to be triggered by the key press. If the terminal is selected, it will just type the keyboard output to the terminal and do nothing.

I'm sure I'm the only idiot that did this, but just incase anyone else made the same mistake... I figured I'd save you the waitKey Google sinkhole you may end up in ha ha.

Keep up the great content, Flori!

I don't know if you will still reply, but I want to get a smart bulb, and then turn it to a specific color after motion is detected. I can already turn the bulb on and off using voice commands and change is color. Do you think it will be possible this way? Plus, I also wanted to ask if you could give me a bit more details about the type of cameras I can use and how I can connect them to my computer etc. I want fire cameras dey up at the same point, pointing in all four directions.
