Abstract:
In today's world, ensuring security for important locations is a burning issue, DifTerent
surveillance methodologies such as alarm system, CCTV, PC based video system are used to
ensure this security, But using all these systems, it is not possible for a person to monitor the
security of his or her desired location when they are outside. Now-a-days anybody can
communicate with anyone at anytime around the globe with the help of mobile phone
technology. By keeping the technological facility of mobile phone in mind, a mobile phone
based surveillance systcm has bcen developed in this project. This project will give a solution for
the security of corporate houses as well as corporate personnel. In this project there are server
and client end. A webcam is connected to the server and it will capture images of the desired
location continuously. The images will be saved in a specific location of the server. Then client
will start fetching images one by one li'Dlllthat specific location of the server by key-in the URL
(Uniform Resource Locator) from their mobile phone. Client has also the option to send control
instruction to the server for the movement of the webcam. Server receives the control
instructions from the mobile phone and control the movement of the webcam based on the
instructions. The dcveloped system has been tested lirst using the QUI (emulator) designed by
NetBeans IDE. It has also been tested using different mobile phones to see the images in real
time. The results in both cases are as desired and prove that the proposed system functions
correctly in real time. This project can also be implemented for other handheld devices like PDA.
