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

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.

Problem Statement

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.

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

Deliverables

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

Associated Risks

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.

Associated Effects

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.
