Abstract
Over the last 150 years, home security systems have evolved to offer a plethora of intrusion detection schemes and alert methods. Unfortunately, what has not changed is the relatively high cost of installing a system and maintaining a subscription to keep it active. This project offers to consumers an alternative security system that consumers can purchase cheaply, install easily, and access, control, and administrate by themselves.
The aim of this project is to deliver a low-powered security system that can be controlled wirelessly through common consumer electronic devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, tablets, or phones. Intrusion detection will be performed by various sensors that will communicate wirelessly to a base station. The base station will then push detection events to the user’s devices.
Most security systems on the market forward alerts to alarm companies that then inform users of alert events as a service provided for their continued security subscription. This project aims to change the industry standard by providing a security system that provides direct alerts to users. In pushing this project into fruition, the topics of embedded systems and microcontrollers, mesh networks, wireless fidelity and TCP/IP, and mobile applications will be explored. This development team hopes to gain skills from working on this project and to pass on the knowledge gained from this experience through this report.
Requirements
From Preet:
I've added a requirement section for you guys. We will go with LPC1758-based base-station and add Wifi interface to be able to access it over TCP/IP by using a simple command/response system. Let's setup a "workshop" day so I can train you guys about the development environment. Our next goal will be getting the base-station bare-metal system up and running, and add wifi to it.
Base Station
- Base station shall be able to communicate with each sensor node out-of-the-box
- Base station shall buffer all data from all remote sensor nodes
- Base station shall communicate over TCP/IP to provide access to its interface
Sensor Nodes
- Each sensor node shall operate from a small battery such as CR123
- Each node shall last more than one year on a single battery
- Each sensor node shall wake up periodically and send sensor data
- At minimum, there shall be motion, and door sensor
Mobile Application
- The application shall allow to arm or disarm the security system
- The application shall show events with timestamps when the system was triggered, armed, or disarmed.
