Smart house system for safety of elderly living alone based on camera and PIR sensor

Abstract

With the improvement of human life quality, life expectancy generally increases. As a result, more and more elderly people living alone appear. Recently, the safety problems of the elderly living alone have attracted more and more attention from the public. Due to living alone, the elderly cannot be found at the first time when an accident occurs indoors or out, and the rescue time is delayed. This article proposes a way to use the speed up module to realize real-time face detection on the Raspberry Pi and optimize the processing of PIR sensor signals and write a logic system based on the camera and PIR signals to record and analyze the life of the elderly living alone and warning system to their family members.
