A Novel Intruder Alert System Using LoRa and FMCW Radar

Intruder detection and alert systems are an essen- tial component for both residential and commercial premises. Most surveillance systems in remote locations depend on the availability of the internet on-site to transmit alert signals. This paper presents a novel experimental intruder alert system that doesn't use the internet on-site for the alarm mechanism. using an FMCW Radar and other peripherals such as camera, RaspberryPi and LoRa. The system leverages the long-range and low power consumption capabilities of LoRaWAN to transmit signals, while the FMCW radar and camera work together to detect and track intruders. To further enhance the accuracy of the system, the Yolov4 model is used for detection. Overall, this system has potential to significantly enhance security measures in remote locations.
