An Analytics Enabled Wireless Anti-Intruder Monitoring and Alarm System

Home intruder detection and alarm system rely on a number of factors to determine if an alarm should be triggered. These factors depend greatly on the type of sensors used and the amount of analytical capability built into the alarm system. Presently, most home intruder detection and alarm systems in the market are highly prone to false alarms because they do not have any analytical capability. In this paper, an analytics enabled wireless anti-intruder monitoring and alarm system that is simple and low in cost is proposed. The proposed alarm system uses still images and the location of sensed motion within the premises of the home to help home owners make informed alarm triggering decisions. The designed security system offers the option of allowing multiple key holders receive security alerts via the cellular network‟s Short Message Service (SMS). The system also gives the option of sending distress messages to the police or trusted neighbours
