Design and construction of an home alarm system. It should be a stand-alone microcontroller based. Audible or visible alarms will be used initially for indicating potential break-ins, and system should be highly "intelligent" to differentiate genuine intruders as opposed to friendly pets. Use of web camera(s) are to be investigated for remote monitoring, maybe using the mobile phone with video capture facilities. Addi tonal features such as a text message delivered to the owner of the house if someone breaks into his house and others included.
i am thinking of using two IR sensors, placed in different heights so if the PIC16F877A gets signal from the top and bottom sensors that means its an intruder and if it gets signal from only the bottom sensor it would mean its a pet animal.
if someone else have any ideas. or additional feature i can add
please let me know.
thanks for your time and help
