4. Introduction • Lack of surveillance for sensitive equipment and devices prone to theft. • Fast response with appropriate data. • Cites: • “After only 20 minutes of watching and evaluating monitor screens, the attention of most individuals has degenerated to well below acceptable levels. Monitoring video screens is both boring and mesmerizing.” – US DoD • “London’s Metropolitan Police, reported that the city’s network of near-ubiquitous public cameras had been ‘an utter fiasco.’ ” – MSNBC • In the past 3 years, the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez reported 394 crimes of theft and damage to the property which has summed up to a loss of $125,000 – Office of Quality of Life UPRM

5. Problem Statement • The need to improve monitoring of highly sensitive equipment. • Time span between situations and reaction. • Some equipments require more than just visual monitoring. • Currently systems are oriented on domestic and military surveillance.

6. Objectives • To create a solution that integrates hardware and software to resolve the problem of security and monitoring of sophisticated equipment. • Incorporate sensors for the monitoring of equipment • Detect movement by image analysis • Access the system by a web application • Shorten the time between situation and response from the administrator.

7. Possible Solutions • Eyeline Video Software, • Software based – lack of sensors • X10 Home Camera Surveillance • Software and camera • ProTechComputer • Customized for the customer but expensive • Sensorsoft • Customized system – lack of video storage

8. Our Solution Smart Surveillance Technology System: • Integration of hardware and software solution for monitoring • Hardware • Microprocessor, sensors, camera, alarm. • Software • Application, web interface, data base. • Communication methods • Email, SMS.

9. Block Diagram Database

10. Hardware (Prototype) • Sensors • Collect information from environment. • Fire (Smoke) - DD-4018 Smoke Detector • Temperature - E52-THE5A- 0/100C • Microprocessor • Communication between hardware and software. • MSP430F149 • Camera • Constantly monitor the equipment location. • Web Cam (640 x 480 resolution) 1.3 MP • Alarm • For alerting when there is a critical situation. • Custom made alarm.

11. Software (Prototype) • Main Application service. • Logic between hardware and user settings. • Microsoft C# . NET 3.5 Framework (MAS) • Web Interface • User access to area of monitoring. • Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Framework & AJAX • Data Base • Structure storage architecture • MySQL Database

12. Budget

13. Deliverables • Phase 1: Defining the problem • Proposal (September 10, 2008) • Presentation (September 10, 2008) • Phase 2: Database and Microprocessor to computer communication • Progress Report #1 (October 29, 2008) • Presentation (October 15, 2008) • Phase 3: Sensor data collecting • Presentation (November 5, 2008) • Phase 4: Final Prototype and testing • Presentation (November 26, 2008) • Phase 5: Final Documentation • Final Report (December 1, 2008) • Final presentation (Date selected by Registrar’s office) • User guide (Dec 1, 2008) • Device and Web interface running together (Dec 1, 2008)

14. Associated Risks • Team members Health • Team member leaves group • Hardware or Software failure • Conflicts between team members • Parts do not arrive • Parts Failure • Hurricane and weather conditions

15. Associated Effects • Health and Safety • User manual will explain the appropriate use of the system to avoid any health risks. • Environment • Compliant with the RoHS directive and appropriate materials for non-toxic disposal. • Ethical • Because of privacy issues, signs will be placed in monitored areas • Modular Behavior • Implementation of three independent modules. • If one presents problems, it will not affect the logic and behavior of the other modules.

16. Conclusion • The system provides more confidence to equipment owners by preventing theft and providing visual evidence for future reference. • Lower the time span between a situation and its corresponding reaction to it from the user. • Allow remote access to logs, sensor data and visual information via web.
