Internet of Things Based Intelligent Security using Android Application

Security in the place of residence or home is gaining an increasing research interest from ICT researchers. The traditional security solution is Closed-Circuit Television [CCTV]. It is very useful to monitor the situation around home and offices, but it does not produce any notification. It has huge consumption of bandwidth and storage media. Automated appliance switching and automation is one of the recent interests in this paradigm. Switching OFF the lights and appliances is one of the best known ways to save electricity. Many times, people forget to switch it OFF when needed or keep them ON even when it is not needed. This will increase the electricity bill. All that can be avoided by using the Intelligent automated appliance switching system[2]. This system is based on the Internet of Things technology i.e. IoT, due to its wide use in the development of new products System intelligently detect the person outside the door is an owner or visitor or possible intruder. Android app is installed on owners mobile where pop up message is generated with the captured image. The owner then accept or reject the person and control command is sent to the system. System will open the door or remain closed accordingly. [1] System consists of IoT based hardware component, IIS server and android app. IR and PIR sensors are used for sensing the motion. Pi camera used for capturing the live video. Raspberry Pi 3B is the processor used The aim of the research is to develop a reasonable and high-yielding security and automated appliance switching system.
