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. It provides multi-channel feedback (Twitter, Email, SMS, etc).

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

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

This module monitors room temperature independent of on-board temperature sensors (also monitored) in our servers. It is especially useful in keeping optimal temperature for DILC's data center. Cooling the room too much is a waste of energy. Temperature readings are occasionally verified using 3rd-party thermal instruments.

Controller:

Gizduino X (see manual)

Sensors:

temp: LM 35. See this
