Integration of intrusion detection and web service alarm for home automation system using ‘ARM’ microprocessor

The latest results and discussion of an on-going study of home automation security and safety are presented here in this paper. We describe the implementation of a small-scale prototype intrusion detection and web service alarm design using ARM microprocessor. This intrusion detection system will be integrated wirelessly to the home Wi-FI system and could initiate an email to the respective authority. There are innumerous commercial home intrusion detection systems readily available in the market, all of which tend to be expensive to install and include contracts with monthly recurring payments. Moreover, these systems have high false alarm rates and unnecessary calls to 911 operators. The novelty of our present implementation design lies in cost and time effective communication of the intrusion event wirelessly to the home-owners and law-enforcement with a confirmed image of the scene during the intrusion event. The above implementation of the home security system is aimed to compared in terms of design and program implementation against both ARM microprocessor and ATmega micro-controller.
