Introduction

  • People find great comfort in having a security system for their home or business to keep them altered of
  • intrusion. Our product is not like other security systems, it has two major features that separates it from the

rest: ○ A rail system with an inductive charging station for one camera to be able to monitor a large area. ○ WiFi communication that allows our camera to send captured images to the end users e-mail allowing for instant and informative intrusion notification.

  • Our project consists of an indoor or outdoor PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) night vision capable security camera that

travels horizontally using a simple rail system alongside an indoor or outdoor wall. It will also store images taken by the camera onto an SD card and transmit the images via WiFi to the end user's email. The system will have a backup 5 V battery, that will be charged wirelessly using inductive charging technology. A solar panel will be used as energy source for the camera system during the day. 2

Market Analysis/Regulations

  • Industry grew from $11.5 billion in 2008 to $37.7 billion in 2015 and growing.
  • In 2013 NewYorkTimes poll showed 78% of respondents supported the use of security cameras in

public places.

  • Beijiayue, a chinese based company, whose railcam system costs $12,000, our only competitor.
  • Our system will be affordable to the everyday business/ residential customer
  • Florida Regulations Harvard studies

“Summary of statute(s): All parties must consent to the recording or the disclosure of the contents of any wire, oral or electronic communication in Florida. Disclosing communications in violation of the state’s statute is prohibited. Both criminal and civil penalties exist for such infractions. The state’s video voyeurism law bans the secret recording underneath or through the clothing of individuals without their consent, or in areas where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. - See more at: http://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-guide/state-state-guide/florida#sthash.GngGJfFW.dpuf”

Specifications/Power consumption

Total power provided P = I*V = (5V)(4.4Ah) = 22Wh Estimated power consumption is 10.4 Wh The above voltage and Amp-Hours are from the data sheet of each component. We will measure these when we start experimenting. 5

High Level System Diagrams (State Transition)

Main software sections:

  • Determination of which power

supply to use.

  • IR sensor and rail servo

communication.

  • WiFi communication from SD

card to end user’s e-mail (via DropBox/Google Drive).

  • Camera night vision and auto

focus (already integrated in camera). 9

Technical Trades

Power Consumption: A proper UPS to manage between two supplies to reduce probability of SD corruption. Microprocessor: Raspberry PI with possible addition of Arduino to free up processing space. Language: PYTHON and C Battery: The type of battery may change but for now it is the Zilu battery pack.

Risk Analysis

Inherent:

  • Environmental factors.
  • Loss of backup battery life,

while main power supply is absent.

  • User’s use of WiFi may hinder
  • nline operation of RailCam.
  • Surface must be suitable to place

rail system on. Programmatic:

  • Our budget may be surpassed

(unlikely).

  • Very close neighbors may

have issues if camera is constantly pointed in their direction.

  • RailCam wireless process may

reduce user’s WiFi usage speed when used. Implementation:

  • Funding issues may arise.
  • Coding skills.
  • Group meeting attendance.
  • Different components working

well with one another.

  • Transfer of SD card images to

DropBox. 14

Risk Mitigation

  • Keep research and work ahead of schedule in order to correct problems

early on.

  • Research, learn, and sharpen coding skills pertaining to project.
  • Complete proper research prior to buying any materials or components

to lower chances of surpassing budget and buying unnecessary or useless parts.

  • Begin project prototype assembly by Summer and try best to recycle

parts and components.

  • Research common mistakes/issues made/found in home security

products to optimize product.

Closure Plans

BOM is still open and we plan on finalising the components before summer. Learning PYTHON basics is an essential part of our project and needs to be completed by mid summer. More research on components to get best performance for lowest price. Ensure compatibility between all components before summer.
