HOME SECURITY SYSTEM WITH MOBILE APPLICATION FOR FIRE DETECTION AND INTRUDERS

ABSTRACT

            The use of security technologies and smart application is now emerging the world today. The possibility of combination of this two type of technologies makes security monitoring easier.

The research aimed to understand how security can be monitored in an easy and fast way without accessing the internet due to the poor internet connection in our country. This also aimed to make a real time alerts to make a quick response in terms of security disturbance.

The project would help to lessen the fear of the home owners for their own security worries. Crime and fire accident rates would lessen through the help of this project by quick reporting to the authorities using text messaging. Also the project helps in notifying the user anywhere and anytime they are.

Based on the finding of the study, the researchers concluded that comprehensive sources of information greatly helped the researchers in making and choosing the system proposed. Knowledge on system layout and clear flowcharts helped the programmer in the debugging process. Java Language in Eclipse Application is the best suited programming language to make the software application of the system. Complete, effective and properly organized system design was developed by the proponents. Strictly choosing and studying concrete programming languages and choosing good equipment helped the researchers to effectively develop the project. Series of tests to the proposed system were systematically and successfully done. The system (Home Security System with Mobile Application for Fire Detection and Intruders) is accurate, reliable and effective.

Testing and evaluation of the completed project has been conducted and it was found out that the system, as its accuracy and reliability were observed, it could be very useful for the home owners.

After the completion of the study, the proponents recommend. To enhance the system and make this an easy and user friendly on actual implementation. To add video surveillance feature on the system. Create database for the record keeping of the system for detailed incident report.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

            This chapter covers the introduction, background of the study, objectives of the study, scope, limitation and delimitation of the study, and significance of the study.

Introduction

Security has been one of the major concerns of today’s daily living. Home and business industry’s security issues become a major concern since everyone in the industry wants to protect their investments from any form of destruction or loss. In terms of security, technology has its own contribution in developing equipment with a better degree of providing security and monitoring a given area or establishment that requires security.

Security systems consist of alarms and sensors which are being installed in the houses for effective and efficient way of protecting home properties. It is designed to detect burglar incidents. Security and protection system are any of various means or devices designed to guard persons and property against a broad range of hazards, including crime, fire, accidents, espionage, sabotage, subversion, and attack (Encyclopedia.org, 2014). One of the common security alarm systems that uses sensor is the car alarm system. Car alarm is a device in a car which makes a loud noise if anyone tries to break into the vehicle.(Collins Dictionary, n.d.) With these, an attempt for theft is immediately discouraged.

Most of the buildings install closed circuit television surveillance system to monitor and record the situation inside the building. It can oversight burglary incidents through its video records. However, in the proponents’ view this type of system is not enough to give real time security to avoid damages of properties because the incident will be noticed only after the incident happened or after the video records were reviewed.

Most of the building incidents like burglary is being done in the presence of security systems is because the criminal knows that the system is not real time and just recording happenings. Therefore, these kind of people can plan on what they will do to be unnoticed. Because of this observation, the proponents have come up with the idea of developing a project entitled “Home Security System with Mobile Application for Fire Detection and Intruders” to enhance the level of security, to avoid damage to properties, and even for personal protection.
