Intelligent SecuritySystem
A smart security system that could detect direction and motion to allow the user to determine to arm or disarm their alarm.
Overview:
In my 2018 internship with Comcast, I spearheaded the design and development of a pioneering all-in-one door and motion sensor prototype. This innovative device aimed to redefine home security dynamics by integrating a motion-detecting mechanism that automatically disengages the alarm system upon detecting motion inside, prior to any tampering with the door sensor.
Problem Identification:Traditional home security systems pose significant limitations in user convenience and efficiency, notably:
Manual Disarming: The necessity for manual system disarming before stepping out, a cumbersome task when hands are full or in urgent situations.
False Alarms: Common instances like pets moving at night could trigger false alarms, causing unnecessary disruption.
Lack of Adaptive Sensing: Existing systems fall short in dynamically adjusting security settings based on real-time indoor motion detection.
Solution Strategy:The prototype addresses these challenges by offering:
Automatic Alarm Suspension: Through motion detection inside the home, the system autonomously pauses the alarm before the door is opened, thus eliminating manual disarming.
Intelligent Motion : It can discern between routine indoor movements and potential unauthorized entries, significantly reducing false alarms.
Custom Suspension Settings: Users gain the flexibility to personalize the alarm suspension duration via the Xfinity Home Hub or mobile application, enhancing adaptability to individual lifestyle needs.
