Design of an IOT approach for Security Surveillance system for Industrial process monitoring using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The industrial environment presents unique fire protection and security challenges. The machinery used gases and the concentration of stored assets result in high risks. This system is capable of detecting fire and provides an alert to the workers. Raspberry Pi 3 has been used which is integrated with a couple of sensors and a camera. The system uses gas sensor to detect gas leakage, PIR sensor detects intrusion and the flame sensor detects fire. The sensors constantly sense and keep on transmitting values to the online web server over a Wi-Fi connection. If fire due to an intruder is detected, the camera captures the image and the system will immediately send an email alert along with the image of the affected spot to the industry owner. Once the fire is detected by the flame sensor, fire alarm will be generated to alert the workers, the sprinkler motor will be activated. The server can be viewed from anywhere for sensor information such as concentration of gases, fire and motion detection. With such intelligent information, safety managers, workers, and fire fighters will also be able to make better decisions for fire response.
