Built a dog poop detector for my backyard

Follow the full discussion on Reddit.
Over winter break I started poking around online for ways to track dog poop in my backyard. I don't like having to walk around and hope I picked up all of it. Where I live it snows a lot, and poops get lost in the snow come new snowfall. I found some cool concept gadgets that people have made, but nothing that worked with just a security cam. So I built this poop detector and made a video about it. When some code I wrote detects my dog pooping it will remember the location and draw a circle where my dog pooped on a picture of my backyard.
