Self-Sufficient Surveillance System

Abstract

Our design was to develop a Sustainable Standalone surveillance system which will be able to produce its own power through renewable source and able to process and perform different operations in real time (Pattern recognition, abnormal behaviour detection etc.) as required by the user and relay that information back to the customer remotely using the principle for Internet of Thing devices. To Make Tomorrow Better for a Pakistani, It’s essential they could feel more secure about life & property. Developed countries have made this possible through a network of security and easily available home surveillance systems but they could not be applied in Pakistan due to their high cost, complexities and the frequent outages of power in Pakistan. As of June 2016, the shortfall of Electricity generation has exceeded 4000MW which renders the 24/7 operating condition for surveillance system ineffective; whereas The average Solar Insolation 6 kwh/m2/day exists in the region with persistence factor of about 90%. Most of the parts of the region are extraordinary places for harnessing Solar power with more than 2200 hrs per annum. [1] The most important task was to develop a system which could be standalone and sustainable at the same time, with the processing power to analyse the feed able to differentiate between different picture frames and send the abnormal detections to the user remotely
