Abstract

With the advancement of wireless technology, our dependency on smart system has increases to a higher level than before. Without doubt, integration between different technologies becomes inevitable in order create affordable surveillance system. This paper presents the development of with web-based surveillance system with a dedicated Android-based mobile application using a Raspberry Pi and its supporting components i.e., Pi-Camera, PIR motion sensor, Ultrasonic sensor, web-based mobile application. The designed system also utilizes Node-Red development tools as the platform to integrate all components of the system, MQTT as the communication protocol for data acquisition and ThingSpeak as the middleware. The proposed system can be implemented over the internet using any computer and mobile devices, at anywhere and anytime. The system can automatically stream live video viewed from the Android mobile application and the Raspberry Pi device can send an alert notification to users via email and SMS. The system can be one possible features in smart home system and is considered as an affordable solution, customizable and easy to implement in comparison with other commercial surveillance system products such as CCTV or IP Camera.

Highlights

The risen of crime cases in Malaysia in big cities like Kuala Lumpur, has heighten the necessity in developing a sophisticated surveillance system by integrating the current surveillance system with the internet for continuous monitoring of activities; at anywhere, at any time
Surveillance comes from a French word meaning “watching over” [1], and with the advancement of the hardware and software in recent years, surveillance system has rapidly improved from a “Dumb camera”, Circuit Television (CCTV) and integrated with other sensors for a multifunctional system which can be made available at a low cost, depending on the system components and features
The first-generation surveillance systems (1960s-1980s) are mainly human-operated system where the operators examine, classify and view the issue of video stream captured as analog signals that are transmitted to a remote-control room and displayed on large screens

Summary

Introduction

The risen of crime cases in Malaysia in big cities like Kuala Lumpur, has heighten the necessity in developing a sophisticated surveillance system by integrating the current surveillance system with the internet for continuous monitoring of activities; at anywhere, at any time. Surveillance comes from a French word meaning “watching over” [1], and with the advancement of the hardware and software in recent years, surveillance system has rapidly improved from a “Dumb camera”, CCTV and integrated with other sensors for a multifunctional system which can be made available at a low cost, depending on the system components and features. From the year 2000 onwards, many surveillance systems can be integrated with multiple sensors such as infrared, audio, thermal etc. From the year 2000 onwards, many surveillance systems can be integrated with multiple sensors such as infrared, audio, thermal etc. using a processing unit of controllers that can perform image processing and relay multiple inputs simultaneously
