In this research, we propose a sensor system for monitoring a house and residents. Residents’ various behavioral patterns different from the signal which shows a vibration characteristic of a house are measured by the prototyped MEMS acceleration sensors installed in the house. And the degree of danger of the behavior of the resident is recognized from the vibration data and it is possible to detect abnormality and issue necessary warnings. A preliminary experiment was performed in standard housing (wooden and steel frame construction) using prototyped MEMS acceleration sensors and the highly precise servo type speedometer as a reference measuring instrument and some of the experimental results are discussed in this report.
