Smart Automated Surveillance System using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

With the fast-growing world, frequent attacks and burglaries are increased. Therefore, the need for an effective and reliable surveillance security system has become an indispensable necessity to fulfill various security aspects and add quality to human life. The existing security systems use CCTV cameras and computers. It also consumes a lot of memory because of continuous recording and needed manpower to detect unauthorized activities and instant notification is also not possible in these surveillance security systems. So we researched the surveillance part and mainly on the burglary part where during the absence of the owner the camera will detect motion and will send instant notification to the user when motion is detected. Compared to existing surveillance systems, the use of Raspberry pi is effective because of its size, low power, and memory consumption, wireless features, and many more effective aspects. In this paper, we proposed an IoT based surveillance security system that can be accessed remotely with the use of the internet. This framework can be used in homes and personal offices. The framework works best in confined spaces and when the space in which it is being used has the absence of the owner. This is because the system will detect any movement occurring in the space.
