1.2 Problem Statement
The major reason in designing this project is to solve user’s problems especially in burglary cases which are increasing nowadays. Referring to the statistic that made by
the nationmaster.com, Malaysia is in the rank of 26 out of 68 countries around the world in most recent burglary cases. This shows that Malaysians should improve the level of
their home security in order to prevent these problems.
The funny thing about the home invasions is they have not changed at all over the years. Criminals still use the same methods to break into the houses now as they
always have. Most of the burglaries involved with forcible entry, which means if the users focus on protecting their home from forced entry, their odds of being burglarized
drop dramatically. Thus, having a few security measures really could really make a difference.
a Criminals target houses that look like easy picking. If they are searching for
somewhere to rob and see an unsecured home that looks empty, it is an attractive options. That is why burglary usually happens at the houses where its security
system is poor and less observed.
b By using conventional security system, users did not receive any signal when
intruders enter their houses. Therefore, immediate action cannot be performed.
c Sometimes false signals reaction occurred due to the improper situation such as
over-sensitive alarm system because of lightning, damaged sensors etc.
d A complete supervisory security system is very expensive in the market. Thus,
this project is to produce a cheaper system so that it is affordable for the users to apply this system to their house.
1.3 Project Objectives
This project is divided into four main objectives:
a To design the software that will control all the system we want to monitor.
b To implement new technology for automation and security system rather than the
conventional way that is not effective and safe anymore.
c To allow the users to control their house appliances at anytime and anywhere
they are.
