DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A REMOTE SURVEILLANCE SECURITY SYSTEM

Abstract

Security is major challenge Security in most institution, as it is an integral part of any modern Institution. Most Institutions in recent times has security cameras on keys areas to check all activities on their campus, this help to monitor all activities going on in the campus.

In recent times the polytechnic has acquired state of the act facilities in most departments;

Geo-informatics (Edo Poly GIS), Engineering, Mass communication, etc. There is need for the Polytechnic to have a secured surveillance security system to monitor these facilities from theft and vandals. In this research we intend to design and deploy a remote surveillance security system using CCTV cameras, solar power panels, Inverters system. The camera will cover core areas of the institution, such as the gate house, the admin building, the different laboratories and the different schools. The system design and implementation is an Internet Protocol (IP) based surveillance security system. It combines remote viewing and storage of live video feedback, remote motion control of the camera, and a Personal Computer (PC).

The design is a software based, the software applications are developed using Visual C - Sharp (C#) programming language to enable the proper monitoring and control of the complete system using the video feedback from the camera view and it is recorded on PC.
