Android, Google Firebase, Arduino, IoT (Internet of things), SurveillanceAbstract
Smart cities are environments where digital devices are connected over the Internet and operate in sync. Security is of great importance in such environments. This work addresses aspects of a distressed user triggering the surveillance camera through an app on his Android mobile phone. The camera turns to the user and captures the scene, and turns ON an alarm. SMS is sent to his emergency contacts, and a call is placed to security agents. The application also shows the location of the user. The hardware for the device consists of an Arduino board, a Wi-Fi module, an IP camera, a buzzer and a servo motor to build the Smart Surveillance System. Also, an Android mobile phone is used. The software is written in Java and C++. The Wi-Fi Module, Buzzer and IP camera module are connected to the Arduino Microcontroller Board. The app alerts the device during an emergency by using the Google Firebase service to trigger the microcontroller. The application is built in Android Studio and connected to Firebase. Using the Arduino IDE, the Arduino Device is also connected to Firebase. The device and app communicate through the Google Firebase using the Real-Time Database and APIs. The need to safeguard lives and property is paramount. This work presents a solution using the notion of Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor and gather evidence against perpetrators. Also, to get quick access to emergency services. Thus, the system is highly important in Nigeria today.
