Abstract
—
This
paper
deals
with
the
design
and
implementation of Smart surveillance monitoring system using
Raspberry pi and PIR sensor for mobile devices. It increases
the usage of mobile technology to provide essential security to
our homes and for other control applications . The proposed
home security system captures information and transmits it
via a 3G Dongle to a Smart phone using web application.
Raspberry pi operates and controls motion detectors and
video cameras for remote sensing and surveillance, streams
live video and records it for future playback. It can also find
the number of persons located with the help of the Infrared
sensor.. For example , when motion is detected, The cameras
automatically initiate recording and the Raspberry pi device
alerts the owner of the possible intrusion having a smart
phone. Raspberry - Pi has two main components interacting
with each other: one is the Web Application that executes on
the mobile device's browser and server -side scripts that run in
a cloud which will be operated by the Raspberry Pi Hardware
tool component

INTRODUCTION
Raspberry pi is a credit- card sized computer .It functions
almost as a computer. There are various surveillance
systems such as camera, CCTV etc., In these types of
surveillance systems, the person who is stationary and is
located in that particular area can only view what is
happening in that place .Whereas, here, even if the user is
moving from one place to another ,he/she can keep track of
what is happening in that particular place. Also another
advantage is that it offers privacy on both sides since it is
being viewed by only one person .The other major
advantage is that it is a simple circuit .the operating system
used here is Raspbian OS.Raspbian OS has to be installed
so that the image can be transmitted to the smartphone

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
The functions of the various components are given below:
A. USB Camera:
USB Camera captures the image and sends it to the USB
port of the Raspberry Pi board. The camera model used
here is USB Camera model 2.0.
B. Raspberry Pi
:
Raspberry pi is a small credit-card sized computer capable
of performing various functionalities such as in surveillance
systems,
military
applications,
etc.
The
various
functionalities of the components are given below The
various components of Raspberry- Pi are
•
SD Card Slot
is used to install OS/booting/long term
storage .The total memory of the SD card is about
8GB.
•
Micro USB Power Port
provides 700mA at 5A.
•
RCA Video Out
is connected to display if HDMI output
is not used. It is mainly used to carry audio and video
signals. They are otherwise called as A/V jacks.
•
Audio Out
Digital audio is obtained if HDMI is used
to
obtain stereo audio. Here analogue RCA connection is
used.
•
Ethernet Port is
used to connect to the Internet. It also
plays a role in updating, getting new software easier.
•
HDMI OUT(High Definition Multimedia Interface)
is
used with HDTVs and monitors with HDMI input.
Also HDMI-HDMI is used here.
•
BROADCOM BCM 2835
: It is otherwise defined as
System on chip .It is a 700 MHz Processor. It has a
Video core IV GPU.
•
GPIO
allows us to control and interact with real world .

HARDWARE
ARCHITECTURE
In the figure 1, Raspberry Pi is connected to the USB
camera with the help of USB port .In the PC, Raspbian
operating system is installed. Raspberry-pi works only on
Raspbian operating system, Linux. Raspbian is a free
operating system based on Debian optimized for the
Raspberry Pi hardware. An operating system is the set of
basic programs and utilities that make your Raspberry Pi
run. However, Raspbian provides more than a pure OS: it
comes with over 35,000 packages; pre-compiled software
bundled in a nice format for easy installation on your
Raspberry Pi.
