CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction/Background
A home is the castle, the sanctuary, the heaven of safety and it is one of the biggest investments ever make. Keeping it safe and secure is a dominant priority of many homeowners. Living in modern times can be a scary and stressful thing. Bad guys with malicious intent, and the crimes they commit, are everywhere. Imagine feel exhausted going to sleep at night with no sense of security or coming home after a long day of work to house that has been burglarized and having the thought of someone breaking into the house that possibly harming the family run through the mind. Besides, people also keep their precious properties which sometimes not only precious in term of price, but they may have sentimental values that cannot be replaced if it is lost or stolen. Protection of home is very important in today’s world for households because of quite high crime rates. According to Safewise (2017), security system means something is secured through a system of internetworking components and devices. All home security systems work on the same basic principle which securing entry points with sensors such as doors and windows as well as interior space with motion detectors.
The home security alert system is designed to detect unauthorized entry into a house.
To improve the efficiency of the home security alert system, this thesis is to purpose a system with combining security system and GSM technology. This system will allow user and guard a residential to receive a Short Message Service (SMS) whenever door or windows of the house are forced to open without permission. The sensor used for this system is Arduino. Arduino is an open-source platform that’s composed of very simple and easy-to-use both hardware and software (Adeel Javed, 2016). Arduino consists of physical programmable circuit board which is known as microcontroller and a piece of software, or
2
IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board (Ben, 2011). Arduino’s board is bundled up with starter kits which include a wide variety of inputs, outputs, resistors, wires and breadboards. The Arduino that will be used in this system are PIR motion sensor, vibration sensor and GSM module.
1.2 Problem Statement
Nowadays, even though there are lots of home securities system out there towards protecting house from intrusion, but still there is not much guarantee that the house be safe.
Today in the twenty-first century where digitization and sophistication of technology have become prominent, and the number of burglaries is growing at an ever-increasing rate, people use the various kind of security system in home zone to protect from intruder. A good lock for doors and windows is just not sufficient. According to (Maxphi, 2016), there are many different home security systems in the market depending on their applications.
The security of every house should be upgraded to the next proper level.
Furthermore, even though there is many of Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) in the house, the thief still can escape. Application of security system for home do not mean anything if the user is not alert when sensors are triggered. Basic security system implementation only allowing the user alerted if they are still inside the house or if the user is away from the home,
the security system installed becomes less helpful as no person will be alerted. Plus, when there is any intrusion occurs when the user is far away from their house, probably they don’t know to whose they should ask for help around that residential because it may be troublesome to people around or to neighborhoods.
3
Hence, a combination of home security alert system has been designed to send an alert message to the owner of the house and to the guard or security forces nearby in an attempt to get rid of the theft taking place. The system is designed by interfacing sensor modules using 3 alerting system via SMS and embedded the motion sensor and vibration sensor to every doors and windows detect the motion in the house. Residents and guard of a residential will receive a Short Message Service (SMS) whenever door or window of the house is forced to open without permission or intrusion in the absence of owner in real time.
So, the user will feel more secure and both user and guard are able to respond earlier when an intruder is detected in the house.
1.3 Scope
The scope of the project listed as following:
i. The main target group for this project is particularly for residents which stay in bungalow house that need security system to protect from intruder and thief especially when the owner is not around.
ii. This system will detect any motion and vibrations from the door or window.
iii. User and guard of a residential will get the notification through Short Message Service (SMS).
4 1.4 Aim & Objectives
The following objectives are outlined to achieve the project aim:
i. To design and develop a system for intruder detector at home zone.
ii. To provide a real time alert notification if any intrusion occurs through SMS to the user and guard whenever door or window of the house is forced to open without permission or intrusion.
iii. To display a report to a guard that shows the information which house the intrusion occurs through SMS.
1.5 Brief Methodology
The methodology chosen to develop the proposed application is using Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. By using iterative development process, Rapid Application Development model can be adaptive to changes in requirements with minimal development time where the development stages are repeated as required. RAD is chosen for this project, because it is a flexible method, plus easily adapt to the changing requirement of the user. Furthermore, it can help developer to improve the application by collecting feedback from users, develop a higher quality application within a shorter time, as the project schedule of this project is less than one year (Idesis, 2017).

Figure 1.1: Rapid Application Development (RAD) Model (Ralph Stair, 2017)
In the analysis and quick design phase, all the preliminary requirements needed to develop this project that is suitable by gathering information from any sources. The requirements gained will then be analyzed by querying and gathering information from users. Developer will more understand the requirement needed for this project with the collected information. Therefore, the process of analyzing information and design will continue. This phase will also cover the analysis of the current method and the proposed application as well as the design of the proposed application.
Second phase is the prototype cycle. There are three steps in this phase that will keep iterate if there are changes required. These three steps are developing, demonstrate and refine. The development stage will be carried out when the analysis phase is done. At this stage, the prototype is developed rapidly following the wireframe that has been outlined.
Then after the completion of the development stage, it will enter the next stage which is demonstration stage. In this stage, the prototype will be demonstrated to the stakeholder to ensure that the prototype meets the design goals. If the demonstrated prototype does not meet stakeholder’s expectation and requirement, then it will undergo the next stage which is the refining stage. At this stage, the prototype will be refined in terms of interface design,
6
concepts, and features if there are any changes required. Then it will be demonstrated again to check if it has meet stakeholder’s expectation after the prototype is being re-developed based on the new requirement. The process of demonstration, refinement and development keep iterate until user and developer satisfied with the final prototype.
After the stakeholders satisfied with the proposed prototype before implemented in the real world, the project will then be tested thoroughly in the testing phase. In this phase, the proposed application will be validated and verified to meet the technical requirements that guided throughout the design and development phase. The product soon will be tested for its functionalities as well as for the errors. This phase is to fully test the final prototype to ensure the application function as expected. Next, after completed all the testing, the application will be deployed to a user environment and the maintenance of this application will take place in this phase.
1.6 The significance of the project
This project will attain benefits to the society, especially for the home residents. The purposed of this project is allowing user and guard a residential to be notified through SMS if the sensor detects any motion or vibration of the door or window. This system consists of wireless sensor network and SMS notification as the main medium for user to get the alert from the system. Thus, the user and guard will be alert to their surrounding home residential even they are away. This project is using wireless sensor network based on Arduino.

9 1.8 Expected Outcome
At the end of the project, the motion and vibration sensor will detect a movement of intruder or whenever door or windows are forced to open without permission. The notification SMS will be sending through user and guard’s phone device by using GSM module. Through SMS notification, a guard will receive the display of report that shows the information of the house to know which house the intrusion occurs. The programming language is used to program the Arduino which are contains Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, vibration sensor and GSM module. PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. This system is very accessible by the user.
