Cost and energy consumption analysis of residential security systems

The authors of this article analyzed in previous papers, published in several international conferences, the behaviour of a residential security system consisting of anti-theft alarm and closed-circuit television system (CCTV) or otherwise known as video surveillance system. They also mathematically modelled the behavior of the components of the two security systems. This article concludes this study by conducting a cost analysis form the point of view of the beneficiary, taking into account the investment costs and those of subsequent operation (energy consumption, maintenance, consumables).
