Border Security Intrusion Detection Using IoT and Embedded Systems

Abstract

Borders are highly prone to intrusion. It is difficult for the soldiers to monitor the border areas consistently and tirelessly. Hence it is essential to build a system which will reduce the effort of a soldier. Life of a soldier is precious and fragile and should be treated as such. This proposed system aims at reducing the workload of armed forces. The proposed portable model consists of Passive InfraRed sensor (PIR) sensor, cameras that will detect motion of the intruder and notifies the control station and the buzzer that self-activates to warn the intruder being in a restricted area. The whole networks of sensors are connected through Internet of Things (IOT) in the border site.  The live streaming and face detection feature using Raspberry Pi allows the admin to categorize authorized and unauthorized personnel and make decision precisely. The system also incorporates an electric fence and a gun and can be operated manually to take action against intruder. The set-up will work alongside the human soldiers acting as a helping hand hence assuring protection of the borders.
