Stephen, I run five parallel threads on the Raspberry Pi. One server and four clients, one client for each camera. Each client continuously monitors the feed on one camera and does basic motion detection on the images. It passes only the images where motion has been detected to the server. If there are no images with motion, the server will do (almost) nothing. The server processes the images with motion on a first-come-first-served basis. The "heavy-lifting" computing to detect humans in the images is done in the Neural Compute Stick. When a human is detected, the server then does the following: it switches a light on; it plays a sound clip, you can use any recorded MP3 sound clip, the default is a barking dog; send the images with boxes drawn around the detected humans per telegram to as many users as you wish.
It is just amazing what you can achieve with relative little effort using user-friendly low cost technology. I don't claim to have done significant innovative or novel work, I've just combined available technology. By the way, your Posenet example is cool!
