Design Of An Automated Home Security System With Remote Monitoring Capability. Proceedings of the 28th iSTEAMS Intertertiary Multidisciplinary Conference

Abstract

The continuous improvement in technology underscores the critical need for an efficient home security system to address the prevailing security concerns (such as intrusion and fire outbreaks) in homes. Noticeably, automated home security systems that rely on PIR sensors, smoke sensors, microcontrollers, and android enabled remote monitoring features have huge advantages over manual systems. These automated systems increase the possibility of eradicating security fears in homes by providing homeowners with a good sense of security each time they are away from their homes. This paper reviewed some of the existing techniques previously used to implement advanced home security systems and present a system that notifies homeowners in the event of an intrusion or fire incident in their homes. In addition, the system provides homeowners with a remote monitoring feature via an Android application to stream live events using the cameras or channels provided in the DVR.
