💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with QVideo
Create a real-time surveillance system mini-app using the QVideo Python package. This application will allow users to monitor live video feeds from multiple cameras simultaneously. The app should include features such as camera selection, zooming in/out on specific areas of interest, and saving snapshots of the live feed. Additionally, implement a simple alert system that triggers notifications when motion is detected in the video stream. Use the QVideo package to handle the integration and management of the video streams, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Detail each step of the development process, including setting up the environment, configuring the cameras, implementing the user interface, and adding the motion detection feature.
