Design and Implementation of IoT based Smart Surveillance

Abstract

The Internet of Things is the collection of objects on the internet or network that humans rely on to make their lives easier. This project proposes an efficient implementation for IoT (Internet of Things) used for monitoring and controlling the home appliances via cloud. This project aims at monitoring environmental parameter of home and controlling home appliances using various sensors via internet using Wi-Fi as communication protocol and raspberry pi as server system. The main advantage of this project is small device can be part of internet so it is easy to communicate, manage and control without human interferences. Also it provides high degree of security, safety, comfort and energy saving. Proposed implementation of home automation includes Raspberry Pi which is small, inexpensive, portable credit-size single board computer with support for a large number of peripherals and network communication like Ethernet port, USB port, HDMI port, SD card slot. This work proposes an approach to connect number of nodes to Raspberry pi through wireless channel. Each node capable to sensed environmental parameter and taking controlling action through relay i.e. ON/OFF fan, light, TV, AC accordingly as well as transmit all the data to Raspberry Pi. Cloud based platforms help to connect to the things around us so that we can access anything at any time and any place in a user friendly manner using customized portals and in built applications. Hence, cloud acts as a front end to access
