CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Nowadays, the most common threat to home resident is burglary. Millions of

Ringgit are lost in each day. By definition, the crime of burglary is breaking and

entering a residence for the intention of committing a crime or while lawfully within,

commit a crime and to thereafter break out, usually crime that occurs when

homeowner are not at home. A crime reduction adviser is suggesting that

homeowners should spend money investing on security measures, which could to

guard the place from intrusion [1].

Home security system is necessary in order to enhance the occupants,

convenience and safe environment from any in invasion [2]. All the home security

systems are designed to achieve the same purpose – to thwart a break-in attempt. The

most basic of all of the types of the home security system is the simple electric

circuit built into an entry way alarm. Some home security systems are wired to all

potential entries into the home, including doors and windows. In a more exhaustive

way, a basic home security system is often system consists of intrusion detectors, a

control panel, and a triggered-on siren. The intrusion detectors or more commonly

Page 19: WIRELESS BASED HOME SECURITY WITH AUTOMATION SYSTEM …umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/2023/1/Wan_Norziela_Wan_Rosli_(_CD_5388_).pdf · 4.14 DC controlled Solid State Relay 43 4.15 Driver

known as intrusion sensors, include magnetic switch, passive infrared sensor, and

vibration sensor.

However, one very familiar problem related to a home security system is the

tendency of alarm. If the occupants live in an area with high crime rates or in a rural

area with few or no neighbours and travel frequently, the homeowner should

consider a more complete and flexible home alarm security. Thus, the home security

should also consider the zone of coverage of the system. The connection mode, home

security network can be classified into two kinds whether wireless network and non-

wireless. However, for the latter technology, the coverage is encapsulated to several

meters. In addition, the drilling and wall hacking during alarm installation are

definitely a frustrating experience. To make it worst the alarm has been installed, the

limitation of the re-localize some of its components is relatively uneasy. The cost of

installing a whole security system could achieve around a thousand of Ringgit

Malaysia [3] [4].

The aim of the project is to implement the wireless based home security

featuring automation system. The system is equipped with several sensors nodes that

may include such as passive infrared sensor, magnetic switch sensor, and vibration

sensor to detect different forms of intrusion. PIC18F4550 microcontroller is

embedded in the master node to control the system operation. In addition, various

indication outputs such as LED and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are used to

display the alarm status, and sound indicators like buzzer, and siren are used to

inform intrusion that are applied in the design. Due to the consideration of user-

friendliness, portability as well as wider-area coverage, passive infrared sensor is

implemented using zigbee wireless technology. To make the system versatile and

handy, a handheld remote device is designed for the user to arm and disarm the

system. The remote also can be used to active any devices such as lamp, fan or gate

and trigger an alarm if suspicious visitors are existed or when the user feel threat or

insecure. A backup battery module is used allow the system function during power

failure.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

This chapter will elaborate the recent research on the new technology. It

emphasizes the role of zigbee in many applications. Research and findings have been

conducted in order to design and develop Wireless Based Home Security With

Automation System (WYSAS) that will suit the aims and objective in this project.

Several of the existing researches conducted the same field that will give inspiring

ideas of designing and developing WYSAS.

2.2 Zigbee Technology and Previous Research

Currently, the implementation of wireless technologies increased with the

rapid expansion. There are various wireless technologies available, for example

Bluetooth, Infrared (IR), Radio Frequency (RF) and other which have been explored

by the most people in modern society. However, currently many of the wireless

sensor network systems are now using ZigBee to employ the designs. ZigBee is

created to satisfy the market's need for a cost-effective, standards-based wireless

networks that support low data rates, low power consumption, security, robustness

Page 23: WIRELESS BASED HOME SECURITY WITH AUTOMATION SYSTEM …umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/2023/1/Wan_Norziela_Wan_Rosli_(_CD_5388_).pdf · 4.14 DC controlled Solid State Relay 43 4.15 Driver

and reliability [6]. The major applications that offered by ZigBee focus on sensor and

automatic control, such as military application, industrial control, smart buildings

and environment monitoring.

The ZigBee protocol uses the IEEE 802.15.4-2003 specification as its

Medium Access Layer (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY). The ZigBee protocol

wireless network support three types of configurations such as star topology, tree

topology and mesh topology. In a star topology, the network is controlled by one

single device called the ZigBee coordinator. The ZigBee coordinator is responsible

for initiating and maintaining the devices on the network, and all other devices,

known as end devices, directly communicate with the ZigBee coordinator. In mesh

and tree topologies, the ZigBee coordinator is responsible for starting the network

and for choosing certain key network parameters but the network may be extended

through the use of ZigBee routers. In tree networks, routers move data and control

messages through the network using a hierarchical routing strategy. Mesh networks

shall allow full peer-to-peer communication [7, 16]. Figure 2.1 shows the topology

of zigbee network.

Figure 2.1: Topology of zigbee network

ZigBee technology and the Home Automation profile provide interoperability

from different vendors that allow a greater range of control and integration of

different devices in the home. For example, a home security system, along with its

basic monitoring functions can be expanded to provide status and control of home

lighting when entering and exiting a home.

Page 24: WIRELESS BASED HOME SECURITY WITH AUTOMATION SYSTEM …umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/2023/1/Wan_Norziela_Wan_Rosli_(_CD_5388_).pdf · 4.14 DC controlled Solid State Relay 43 4.15 Driver

According to [8] [16], ZigBee technology offers a multi-hop communication

capability for data transfer. Multi-hop communication will provide unlimited range

of communication for the system as long as there are intermediate nodes that will

pass the data from one node to another until it reaches the destination. In [8], it

introduces the conceptual understanding and strategy of ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4

standard to be deployed in smart home environment. It offers two importance

features of a smart home; home security and home automation. In home security, the

hardware implementation consists of the development of the main controller, sensor

nodes and the smart home sensor network. The main controller is equipped with a

GSM modem that is used to send and receive SMSes. If any one of the sensor node is

triggered, it will send an alert signal to the main controller through the intermediate

nodes using multi-hop communication. When the main controller receives the alert

signal, it will then send the alert signal to the user by using SMS via the GSM

Modem which is attached to the main controller. Figure 2.2 shows the operation of

this built home security system.

Figure 2.2: Security System
