There is always something unexpected that happens in a project….

Here it was the following:
The OpenCV library often reported issues/errors and after a lot of investigation, the only solution I found
was to close and reopen the connection to the camera
The first time the system was up and running – I sent so many emails that my account was temporarily sus-
pended!
I had to reduce the number of emails so I only sent one for a batch of differences – If the differences were
within one of previous diff, or within n seconds – don’t send

Spiders triggered many images/emails until I sprayed the camera with furniture polish!

Google Mail sent and resent a large number of emails – and said some couldn’t be delivered!

Each of the resent emails didn’t appear in the Gmail sent folder – so I wasn’t sending them – plus the one I
checked had the same mail ID on the one in the sent folder and the two that were in my Yahoo inbox – so
they were identical.

This problem lasted a day or so, and then everything settled down.
