DEVELOPMENT OF SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATED EMAIL AND TELEGRAM NOTIFICATION USING OPEN-SOURCE APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERPHASE (API)

Abstract

Theft results in harm, property loss, and emotional suffering. Everyone needs a security system to protect their possessions because of the alarming amount of theft that occurs daily. This project aims to develop a low-cost surveillance system that makes use of a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, a camera module, and a motion sensor to record video and detect motion in protected areas such as user property and belonging. Application Programming Interphase (API) and Dynamic Programming Algorithm (DPA) are the algorithms employed in this project. According to the study's findings, an IoT system can automatically send email and Telegram alerts with a ten-second video attachment when a motion detector detects an intruder within a range of 0 to 2 metres. The speed of sending the alert is influenced by the state of the Internet Network Connection. Due to immediate notice, which enables immediate action, remote monitoring, and the presence of proof in the form of video recordings, it is anticipated that the relevance of this surveillance system can lower the theft rate in Malaysia
