Design and implementation of real time security surveillance system using IoT

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in video surveillance systems in public and private environments due to a heightened sense of security like, CCTV and RFID. There are several defects in the video surveillance systems such as picture is indistinct, complex structure, Poor stability, lot of storage space is needed to save the surveillance information and prices remain relatively high. This paper proposes the real time security surveillance system using IoT. The system design uses Motion Detection algorithm written in Python as a default programming environment. This significantly decreases the storage usage and save investment cost. The algorithm for Motion Detection is being implemented on low processing power chip Raspberry pi 2 and Pi camera, which enables live video streaming with detection of moving objects and get alarm when motion is detected and sends photos, videos to a cloud server directly using pi camera. When cloud is not available then the data is stored locally on raspberry pi and sent when the connection resumes. The camera is mounted on the motor and its movement (Left/Right) is controlled through IoT webpage by the user, thus providing user with enhanced view of the surroundings.
