A cost-effective, robust, integrated multi-trigger security and alert system using off-the-shelf or recycled hardware and sensors and open-source software technologies for messaging, video streaming and recording, machine vision, video analytics, thermal and power monitoring and control. It provides multi-channel feedback (Twitter, Email, SMS, etc). Trigger event:

• heat (aircon not working, fire)
• smoke (smoke detector linked to online alarm system)
• motion (person entering/leaving building or room)
• sound (fans, batteries failing, alarm of non-networked motion or thermal sensors)
• power outage

Notification Outputs:

• SMS
• email
• video recording
• log recording
• alarm (sound, light)
• Tweet
• phone dialling

Smoke and Tempeture Module This module monitors room temperature independent of on-board temperature sensors (also monitored) in our servers. It is especially useful in keeping optimal temperature for DILC’s data center. Cooling the room too much is a waste of energy. Temperature readings are occasionally verified using 3rd-party thermal instruments. Remote AC Controller Web-Avaiable Aircon Control is a prototype aircon remote sensor controllable via Web.

• combination of mid-, low-end; recycled, old, new cams
• redundant off-site recordings (continuous and motion-activated events) and picture snapshots
• motion sensors compensate for “blind spots”

Proximity Sensor via Ultrasonic Sonar Module This Arduino micro-based Proximity Sensor integrates an Ultrasonic Sonar module. With this, one can easily monitor if there’s someone near or around a specific area, say, room, door, gate.
