Title: “Importance of Video Surveillance System”

Kaylee Kolditz (March 3, 2020), a Business and Technology Writer, mentions in his blog that Video

surveillance systems can add next-level security to the company's efforts to deter crime. Strategically

placed cameras could mean would-be burglars bypass your business for an easier target. And if a crime

does occur, the video footage can provide important evidence for both the insurance company and the

police. Video surveillance systems involve strategic placement of security cameras, monitoring motion and

activity, generating alerts, transmitting footage, and storing that footage. Cameras can be both indoors and

outside.

Queen Denise P. Cuevas, John Carlo P. Corachea, Ederlina B. Escabel, Merwina Lou A. Bautista

(2016) says, as nations develop and their economies grow bigger, social problems also intensify. One great

concern deals with peace and order as well as safety and security of the people. Various psychologists

would render different explanations to the cases of crimes but what is apparent even to the most innocent

individual is that crimes are everywhere. Anyone can be a victim of crime; which fosters fear to a lot of

people. Knowing its responsibility, the government of different nations have launched various innovations

on how to prevent crimes. One of these innovations is the use of CCTV.

Title: “SMART SURVEILLANCE MONITORING SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI AND PIR SENSOR”

Prasannajit Dash (June 2018) proposed the design and implementation of Smart surveillance

monitoring system using Raspberry pi and PIR sensor for mobile devices. It increases the usage of mobile

technology to provide essential security to our homes and for other control applications The proposed

home security system captures information and transmits it via a 3G Dongle to a Smart phone using web

application. Raspberry pi operates and controls motion detectors and video cameras for remote sensing

and surveillance, streams live video and records it for future playback. It can also find the number of

persons located with the help of the Infrared sensor. For example , when motion is detected, The cameras

automatically initiate recording and the Raspberry pi device alerts the owner of the possible intrusion

having a smart phone. Raspberry - Pi has two main components interacting with each other: one is the

Web Application that executes on the mobile device's browser and server -side scripts that run in a cloud

which will be operated by the Raspberry Pi Hardware tool component

Title: “Security System Using Motion Detection and Face Recognition”

The potential of image processing can be used to enhance the role of CCTV cameras to

generate an alert to the concerned owners or the police officials whenever an intruder is detected in the

owners’ area. The project aims at developing a security alert system based on motion detection and face

recognition techniques in image processing. The frames captured by the camera are analyze d to detect the

presence of any motion and if the motion is detected for a particular time frame, the intruder’s face is

matched with the authorized database of persons provided by the owner of the place using face recognition

techniques. If the intruder’s face is not matched with any other in the database, an alarm is generated and

the intruder’s image is sent to the concerned owners and security officials.

It begins with the general initialization of the software parameters and the configuration of the

objects. Then, once the program has started, the value of the indicator indicates whether the stop button

has been pressed or not checked. If the stop button is not pressed, it starts to read the images and then

processes them using one of the two algorithms when the operator is selected. If a motion is detected, it

triggers a series of actions, then restarts the next images, otherwise it will directly read the following

images. Each time you press the stop button, the indicator value will be reset and the program will stop, the

memory will be erased and the required results will be recorded. This terminates the program and returns

the control to the operator to collect the results

Title: “Motion Detection and Face Recognition using Raspberry Pi, as a Part of, the Internet of Things”

In accordance with the prevailing philosophy of ever-present communication, including machine to

machine communication, the IoT may be defined as a set of technologies designed to allow the connection

of heterogeneous objects through various networks and methods of communication. The main objective is
to position intelligent devices in different locations to capture, store and manage information, making it is

accessible, to anyone anywhere in the world.

This solution is standard, but from the point of view of security, it carries various risks. Therefore, a

classic HD webcam is used, connected it to a Raspberry Pi 3 micro-controller.

The structure of this system consisted of:  Simple devices (e.g. in this case HD cameras) that act

as sensors and are capable of collecting information about the patient’s health and the environment if

necessary. A decision element, that is a decision maker with more powerful computing resources, in this

case, the Raspberry Pi 3. Sensors can detect the non-standard movement or falls and also capture their

faces. When a person enters the room, the sensors detect activity. Depending on how the camera is

rotated and the person's face is captured, the person can be identified (conditions depend on the degree of

face rotation, light conditions, camera distance, etc.).

Title: “Video Surveillance Using Raspberry Pi Architecture”

 This project is about a remotely monitor surveillance area using Raspberry Pi architecture.

Raspberry Pi B+ model is a credit card sized single board computers developed in the UK by the

Raspberry Pi Foundation, which provides all the basic features of a computer. Its core architecture is built

from ARM11 (Broadcom BCM2835 SoC). This project deals with Raspberry Pi processor, stepper motor,

webcam, PIR sensors and GSM module. Raspberry Pi which is heart of system collects surveillance data

through interfaces like webcam, PIR sensors. The video stream is locally as well as remotely visualized.

Role of a stepper motor is 3600 surveillance. Further, SIM900A module is used to interface GSM/GPRS

functionality with Raspberry Pi processor. The alert notification is sent to user, when Raspberry Pi detects

living body or motion of living body in surveillance area. Raspberry Pi transmits the real-time video through

internet as well as it sends notification message to the user though GSM module. The Raspberry Pi having

these all interfaces using communication ports like GPIO, Ethernet and USB.
 Title: “Security System with Face Recognition, SMS Alert and Embedded Network Video Monitoring

Terminal”

This project is a novel system to prevent robbery in highly secure areas with lesser power

consumption. This system has face-recognition technology which grants access to only authorized people

to enter that area. If others enter the place without access using some other means, then the system alerts

the security personnel and streams the video captured by the security camera. The face recognition is done

using PCA algorithm. The video transmitted is compressed and transmitted by ENVMT. By using this

ENVMT, the video can play with lesser bandwidth consumption, latency and jitter.

The working of the ISS is explained in the latter half of the section. When the system is started, the

external sensor keeps sensing motion outside the door and the ISS is turned on as well. If the external

sensor detects motion, it triggers the face-recognition module, which in turn makes the camera take a

picture of the person in front of the door. The face-recognition module replies the micro-controller with a

binary result whether the person is recognized or not. If he/she is recognized, then the access is granted

else simply the access is denied, and the ESS after a few seconds, it resets itself. If the access is granted,

then the ISS is turned off and the access door is opened for 30 seconds. The timing can be adjusted

depending on the need. The person should enter the room and press the entry push button to notify the

system that the person has entered the room and if he/she fails to do that, then the access door will be

closed and the ISS will be turned on which would lead to the false alarm. When the person wants to leave

the room, he/she should press the exit 1 push button inside the door for the door to open and on exiting the

room he/she should press the exit 2 push buttonoutside the room to notify the system that the person has

left the room or the system will automatically close the door in 30 seconds which is also changeable and

the ISS will be turned On.

compared to the existing system Raspberry pi system is much cheaper with better resolution and low

power consumption feature. Here pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors are used as a simple but powerful

people presence triggers. This system is suitable for small personal area surveillance. i.e. personal office

cabin, bank locker room, parking entrance. Whenever the motion is detected through PIR sensor inside the

room the image is captured through camera and temporarily stored in the raspberry pi module. Internet-of-

things based application can be used remotely to view the activity and get notifications when motion is
detected. System works standalone without the PC once programmed. One android Application is used to

get the notification on motion detection.

Title: “Motion Detection and Face Recognition for CCTV Surveillance System”

This research is designed with four main processes: motion detection process, fac e detection

process, data training process, and face identification process. In general, the architectural design of the

research can be seen in diagram of Figure 1. The first step is by acquiring video images from CCTV. Those

images will be used for motion detection process. If a motion is detected, the information of time stamp and

images with detected motion will be stored. Then, the motion value will be compared to face detection

threshold. If the motion exceeds it, the face recognition process will be committed. Images with detected

motion will be the input of face detection process. This process will decide if the face object exists. If it

exists, detection information will be recorded and continued to face identification process.

Title: “Solar-powered, Wireless Smart Camera network: An IoT solution for outdoor Video Monitoring”

In this project, presents SlugCam, a solar-powered, wireless smart camera network that can be

used in a variety of outdoor applications including video surveillance of public spaces, habitat and

environmental monitoring, wildfire prevention and detection, to name a few. SlugCam was designed such

that it can be deployed and left unattended for extended periods without requiring regular maintenance,

e.g., frequent battery replacement. The system is built with off-the-shelf components which not only keeps it

modular and low cost, but also facilitates its prototyping, rapid duplication, and evolution. SlugCam’s on-

board processing capability allows computer vision software to run locally and autonomously. Energy

efficiency in SlugCam is accomplished both in: (1) hardware by micro-managing low-power components; as

well as in (2) software by having the system’s operation duty cycles automatically adapt to the current state

of the battery in order to balance the trade-off between application-level requirements and power

awareness. For example, SlugCam’s smart camera node changes its monitoring behavior based on how

much battery charge remains. Additionally, using its computer vision software, the system only records and

transmits information upon event detection which contributes both to the system’s energy efficiency as well

as its low network bandwidth requirements. SlugCam’s networking functionality enables camera nodes to

transfer video files, as well as collaborate on tasks such as visual processing, event detection, and object

tracking. It allows node-to-node, as well as scoped- or full broadcast communication. For  point-to-point

communication, SlugCam uses on-demand power-aware multi-path routing to transfer video files efficiently.

Another important contribution of SlugCam is to provide an open-source wireless camera network that can
adapt to address the requirements of future outdoor video monitoring applications. SlugCam also includes

a Web-based server where video data is stored as well as a Web-based user interface that allows end

users to interact with the system, tag, query and retrieve video files, and manage SlugCam nodes remotely.

In addition to a detailed description of SlugCam, this paper presents an extensive power characterization of

the system’s operation and showcases its deployment in a lab testbed and a real world scenario.
 The house alarm system includes sensors, event, motions and all system activities has been

designed and running in MATLAB as showing in Figure above. In this design, when the system detects an

intrusion permit a certain time for alarm to be disable and otherwise calls the house owners. This system

illustrates how to use output events to derive all blocks and how to use direct event broadcasting to

coordinate between parallel states. Additionally, this model could show how to use the function call trigger

to simulate the security system which required to be every so often triggered.

Web-based technology has improved drastically in the past decade. As a result, security

technology has become a major help to protect our daily life. In this paper, we propose a robust security

based on face recognition system (SoF). In particular, we develop this system to giving access into a home

for authenticated users. The classifier is trained by using a new adaptive learning method. The training data

are initially collected from social networks. The accuracy of the classifier is incrementally improved as the

user starts using the system. A novel method has been introduced to improve the classifier model by
human interaction and social media. By using a deep learning framework - TensorFlow, it will be easy to

reuse the framework to adopt with many devices and applications.

SoF system experimental architecture inside a smart home. The SoF system consists of a camera

node, a cloud server, a smartphone and smart devices for interacting with users. The SoF system is shown

in Figure above.

Title: “Development of Face Recognition on Raspberry Pi for Security System Enhancement of Smart

Home System”

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the smart home system using Internet of Things. One of

the important aspects in the smart home system is the security capability which can simply lock and unlock

the door or the gate. In this paper, we proposed a face recognition security system using Raspberry Pi

which can be connected to the smart home system. Eigenface was used the feature extraction, while

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used as the classifier. The output of face recognition algorithm is

then connected to the relay circuit, in which it will lock or unlock the magnetic lock placed at the door.

Results showed the effectiveness of our proposed system, in which we obtain around 90% face recognition

accuracy. We also proposed a hierarchical image processing approach to reduce the training or testing

time while improving the recognition accuracy.

 The proposed block diagram of face recognition system using Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi has the

same processing capability of a single core processor with built-in graphics which can support up to 1080p

video standard using its High Definition Media Input (HDMI) port. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect

the human presence. The relay circuit is connected to Raspberry Pi and provides an interface to the high

voltage magnetic lock. The status could be shown using LED indicators and/or further send SMS using

GMS module, or email using internet connection, or as part of smart home system as proposed in. Finally,

the overall power required is less than 1 A, so that a compact power supply, i.e. smartphone charger, could

be used as the power supply.

As IoT grows, devices become more cheaply available and facial recognition develops rapidly, the

need for a system using these three components arises. Combining these three technologies will allow

tackling a diversity of use cases, from replacing door locks to smart CCTV systems. The result of the

presented project is a working system using facial recognition with OpenCV, IoT over the MQTT protocol

and Clients on the Raspberry Pi as well as on an Android mobile application. The thesis builds a foundation
using these three components on a system applicable in many further scenarios of facial recognition in

combination with IoT on low-budget hardware.

Starting from the Raspberry Pi in the Figure above, the achieved system has a camera connected

to the Pi over USB. The Raspberry Pi is responsible for detecting the homeowner’s face. It will handle

dataset generation, machine learning and recognition. As soon as the owner’s face gets recognized or an

unknown face enters the apartment, a notification will be sent to the user’s mobile phone. For this

functionality a message is sent to an IoT hub/server which will then forward it to our mobile phone. When

the application receives a message from the server, it will then notify the user through notification on the

phone.

Title: “Strengths of the Raspberry Pi” - ZDNet

 Nick Heath (July 9, 2019). The Raspberry Pi Foundation has invested years of work in improving

the Pi's core software, notably its default operating system, known as Raspbian. The bespoke OS is

designed to get the best out of the Pi hardware and loaded with free software -- both the everyday basics

like a web browser and office suite, but also tools for learning to code. Yet the official support is only half

the story, with much of the board's usability coming from the plethora of community-created guides and

tutorials -- with the answer to many questions only a Google away. Beyond the staunch community support,

the Pi can be augmented by a broad ecosystem of boards and kits that extend its capabilities, turning the

board into everything from a robot to a virtual assistant. The Pi also strikes a shrewd balance between price

and capability.

idea behind “smart web cam motion detection surveillance system” is to stop the intruder to getting into the

place where a high-end security is required. This paper proposes a method for detecting the motion of a

particular object being observed. The motion tracking surveillance has gained a lot of interests over past

few years. This system is brought into effect providing relief to the normal video surveillance system which

offers time consuming reviewing process. Through the study and evaluation of products, we propose a

motion tracking surveillance system consisting of its method for motion detection and its own graphic user

interface. Various methods are used in motion detection of a particular interest. Each algorithm is found

efficient in one way. But there exits some limitation in each of them. In our proposed system those

disadvantages are omitted and combining the usage of best method we are creating a new motion

detection algorithm for our proposed motion tracking surveillance system. The proposed system in this

paper does not have its effect usage in office alone. It also offers more convenient, effective and efficient

usage where high-end security comes into picture.
