Internet of Things: CCTV Monitoring by Using Raspberry Pi

The security system in the room requires remote monitoring, one of the implementations is using the web that can be accessed via a smartphone or laptop. In order to realize a web server, the raspberry pi is needed as the low power consume device. In this study, monitoring system a local network based on the IoT technology (Internet of Things) where an object has the ability to send data over the network without requiring human-to-human or human interaction to the computer. Raspberry pi is used as a web server and is installed by Motion eye as a web interface that is integrated with a webcam that functions as a sensor. Furthermore, the client monitor in the room through the web browser by streaming with define the URL according to the IP address obtained by the raspberry pi from the server. The observations of the systems have been addressed on the number users, number of frames per second and the resolution of the object related to the delay, the throughput, the delay and the CPU performance. The simulations have been defined when the number of user 30 and 70, the resolution of the object was 320 × 176, 320 × 240, 640 × 480 and 1024 × 786, the number of frames per second were 10 fps, 20 fps and 30 fps. The results show that IoT technology have possibility to be implemented for CCTV monitoring using Raspberry Pi. The examining on the CPU usage shows that higher both the resolution and fps on the video results affect the CPU usage performances. However, the video quality becomes better.
