Description

a cost-effective, robust, integrated multi-trigger security and alert system using off-the-shelf or recycled hardware and sensors and open-source software technologies for messaging, video streaming and recording, machine vision, video analytics, thermal and power monitoring and control.

Trigger Events

  • heat (aircon not working, fire)
  • smoke (smoke detector linked to online alarm system)
  • motion (person entering/leaving building or room)
  • sound (fans, batteries failing, alarm of non-networked motion or thermal sensors)
  • power outage



alpha version of the "big plan" for smoke and heat sensors

Output

  • SMS
  • email
  • video recording
  • log recording
  • alarm (sound, light)
  • phone dialling



Specs

IP camera, POE (Power Over Ethernet), direct-to-NAS recording (AFP, SAMBA, or NFS), inputs for PIR sensors, Infra Red light for night vision, mechanical IR-Cut Filter Switch (basic surveillance functions incorporated into the camera; camera sends stream when preset event occurs; system send SMS/email), NAS (www.nas4free.org - ZSF file system 4 TB RAID Z2)

Smoke and Temp Module

Controller:

Gizduino X (see manual)


Sensors:

temp: LM 35. See this
smoke


Shields:

ethernet. See also Arduino Ethernet Shield




Motion Detection and Video Monitoring Module

  • combination of mid-, low-end; recycled, old, new cams
  • redundant off-site recordings (continuous and motion-activated events) and picture snapshots

Interns doing camera configuration


  • motion sensors compensate for "blind spots"

Power Monitoring Module

  • uses embedded sensors to monitor temperature and power outage and recovery
  • redundant power-failure alert system
