Abstract
Traditional security systems are expensive, requiring a costly installation and an exorbitant monthly fee. These costs can be prohibitive to both small business owners and homeowners, who both have limited resources to dedicate to a security system. By replacing wired sensors with user-installable wireless sensors, the cost of a professional installation can be eliminated. By substituting a call center with text alerts, a user-accessible web server, and an Android application, monthly fees can be eliminated and security can be placed into the property owner’s hands.
The system will be comprised of a wireless base station, multiple low-power wireless motion sensors, and an application for Android phones. The base station will receive wireless transmissions from the sensors and notify the user of activity via a text alert. The user will also be provided with a web application and a smartphone application in which security reports can be viewed remotely. The result of this project will be a working prototype of this wireless security system that is expandable.
