This system provides an automated video surveillance and alarm system to alert the security guard via his cell phone of any undesired activity caught on the surveillance cameras. Once any suspect intrusion is detected, the surveillance camera will capture the frame with the intrusion and send to the handheld device of the people related. The scope of the research covers mainly the aspects of digital image processing relevant to differentiate between two images quickly and accurately and the automation of message sending, be it email, SMS or MMS, with no human interaction. Demonstrated by the experimental result, it is a promising replacement of traditional human video surveillance monitor system.
