Added an option to make the halovision form the top-most window and fixed an issue when closing while video is streaming.

Optimized memory usage as it was still growing on some systems. And added detail to the motion highlighting.
Added configuration options for eye movement minimum and maximum values with optional channels that can be enabled.
Added support for ONVIF streams.
Added a “Toss” channel, to show when movements are detected that are large enough to be interpreted as tossing and turning. If the Toss channel has a positive value, the vREM channel is disabled. The Toss Threshold determines how high the movement value must be when it kicks in and the Toss Half-life determines how quickly it fades.
Fixed memory leaks and relaxed vREM channel sensitivity.
Some small updates to the INSPEC design – it now has a built-in battery and a flex cable as the proximity of the LEDs was interfering with the image quality.
Added facial detection so that it only looks for movements within a region where a face was detected.
The file haarcascade.xml can be replaced with one of these or a custom cascade classifier for better performance.
The latest version of the Halovision device; code-named INSPEC. A standalone infrared camera with a processor powerful enough to run the latest machine vision algorithms that flash LEDs when eye-movement patterns are detected after a long enough still phase. The camera case is 3D printed and installed on a flexible tripod to get a good angle. It records GIFs along with BMP stills that can be viewed the next morning via micro-USB cable.
I have been getting better results with a different night-vision camera with built-in infrared lights and zoom:
