ABSTRACT
The design used in this study was a security system. For application purposes, the
project was designed for a small closed room. “SMS Security System” is a design system
that enables you to know if anyone or anything has entered a secured room. The design
is equipped with software that displays the current video footage of the room and records
whenever there is an “intruder”. The system works using a camera that captures and
displays a video footage of the room being surveyed. The program that was designed
only recorded the video whenever the program detected a disturbance or change in the
surveyed area. This was done by specifying the sensitivity of the program. Once an
intruder was detected by the system, the system would automatically send a text message
to the owner alerting them of a possible burglar and turning on the attached device. To
be able to make sure that the design was reliable, it was tested in different working
conditions and possible scenarios. Based on these tests, it was found out that almost all
types of movement could be detected by the designed system regardless of its intention.
The system, if performed as expected, it would be helpful when it comes to security and
could warn the authorities/owner of possible burglar.

INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
RESEARCH SETTING
The use of cellular phone nowadays is so popular that almost everybody owns
one. Text Messaging is a popular mode of communication for Filipinos. With the use of
this device, communicating with someone becomes easier.
At present, poverty is widespread in every community and because of this many
have engaged in burgle. Daily news tells us to be more cautious on these problems so as
to avoid being a victim. House, office, and even secured establishment are being targeted
by criminals. Precautionary measure and security gadgets have been done and installed,
but still the problem exists.
In view of all these, we have designed a possible way to give surveillance for a
small closed room and warn immediately the owner of any intruder that may enter the
premises.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND RELATED STUDIES
Before we came up with an idea of creating a SMS security system we wanted to
get more information why security at home is very important. According to Greg Hall in
his Article entitled “Why Home Security Is Important In This Day And Age,” published
by New Ezine Articles that these days’ thieves are able to just walk in because of the lack
of home security. Typically the thieves that are stealing from you have a home security
system and you don't. Now don't you see something wrong with that? Some 40% of
thieves are able to just walk right into the homes where they intend to rob.
1
2
The other good lock to come onto the market is the fingerprint door lock. It reads
the fingerprint in which is supposed to be able to enter the home and it scans the finger
for the right print to open the door. That is smart if you have a thief who can get around
that then you have problems. I don't see how a person could get around, something so
sophisticated like that. Unless they are family and just want to rob you.
You will just simply want to go to a store and get a good lock for your door or
maybe even two. The more locks the harder it is going to be for a thief to break into your
home. So just go to the store and ask a helper who works there about the best type of lock
and security systems for your type of home.
It doesn't matter about the lock on the door, you also need to have a high quality
or at least a good quality door. If you do not have a good door then they can just kick it
down and walk right into your home. You want to have a big heavy sturdy door. With a
sturdy heavy door and a good set of dead bolts, you are in business and you are going to
be good on home security for awhile.
If you still cannot find what you are looking for, then you need to go online and
start looking for one. You will be able to get many ideas online which you wouldn't be
able to find in stores today. You may go into a store and they may be sold out of the stuff
in which you need to buy. That is why shopping or at least looking online is good
because you can either buy the things you need online or you can just get good ideas
from sites.
To be able to come up with a way to develop a security system like we intended it
to be, we searched for previous studies that could give us an idea on how the system
could be developed. We were able to find at least a couple of projects done by fellow
3
Mapuans which gave us information on how can we achieve our objectives for this
project. The MCU Coin-Operated TextBooth created by a group headed by Mr. Calupitan
gave us an idea on how can we use a cellular phone to automatically send a SMS to a
person whenever our security system detects an intruder in a surveyed area. By using the
information we got from their design documentation, we were able to come up with a
way on how a microcontroller can be used to control devices like cellular phones and
alarms. Another design project done by a group headed by Mr. Cunanan, the Securi-
Child A. B. S. also uses SMS technology to send message to parents on the login and
logout of their children at school. This information gave us ideas on how to interface our
hardware wirelessly because the control of the security system must be in a different
room. The Securi-Child A. B. S. design project also gave us information on how to
interface the cellular phone to send a SMS that will contain information as an alert to the
owner whenever the security system was triggered.
Using the mentioned studies above, we were able to find out that we could use AT
commands to control the built in modem in a cellular phone. AT commands are
instructions used to control a modem. AT is the abbreviation of attention. Every
command line starts with "AT" or "at". That's why modem commands are called AT
commands. Many of the commands that are used to control wired dial-up modems, such
as ATD (Dial), ATA (Answer), ATH (Hook control) and ATO (Return to online data
state), are also supported by GSM/GPRS modems and mobile phones. Besides this
common AT command set, GSM/GPRS modems and mobile phones support an AT
command set that is specific to the GSM technology, which includes SMS-related
commands like AT+CMGS (Send SMS message), AT+CMSS (Send SMS message from
4
storage), AT+CMGL (List SMS messages) and AT+CMGR (Read SMS messages).
After finding ways on how the security system could be developed, we wanted to
know what cameras were mostly used in security systems. In an article entitled “The
Truth About Infrared Security Cameras” by Dean Caporella, New Ezine Articles in
considering an infrared security camera system, we must be aware that we'll come across
what are known as night vision cameras. There is a subtle difference. Many people are
confused about the two but the truth is, night vision or day/night cameras don't have
infrared capability. The former has the ability to produce images in total darkness while
the latter doesn't. There is no suggestion here that one is better than the other and your
circumstances will play a big part in which way you decide to go. The said article
explains the difference between the two and their respective abilities as security
components of your property.
Infrared Security Cameras uses LED (light emitting diode) which gives it the ability
to take images in darkness. With a little light to work with, these images can increase in
clarity to resemble daytime conditions. The use of infrared cameras is popular in
businesses and residential properties which have what is known as "blind spots."
Basically, a blind spot is an area that is not prone or devoid of any lighting and it's
usually the first choice entry point for intruders. Without effective security, going from
these "blind spots" and entering the property is usually an easy assignment but with
infrared coverage, capturing any intrusion on tape is a "soft snap."
The ability to take color pictures during the day time and then revert to black and
white at night is one of the main features of this camera. In fact, when the sun sets the
camera will actually switch to infrared. It's rare that any business or home property is in
5
absolute total darkness simply for the reason that there is some light either being emitted
from the street lighting or in the shape of the night time stars.
There has been an argument for and against an infrared security camera vs. a night
vision camera. If you live in a suburban area with well lit streets then day/night cameras
should be enough. Consider whether you are ever going to be in a situation where your
property will be immersed in total darkness. This is usually rare in any area. Another
comparison that needs to be made is the expense of running infrared cameras opposed to
night vision models. The former requires more power but it's questionable whether this
will blow out your power bill.
Based on most of the articles and journals we found, the type of camera that best
suited for security system is an IR camera.

Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of SMS Security System
Using the conceptual framework model (as shown in Figure 1 above), the system
made use of a Surveillance Camera as the input source. The process will then be handled
by a computer installed with the software we have developed. The monitor and the
cellular phone are used to display the output. The input element is the video footage
coming from the camera. On the other hand, the output elements are the recorded video
which will be saved on the hard disk of the computer and can be played in almost all
video players; and the SMS alert message which would be sent to the recipient’s cellular
phone.
The program works by detecting a distortion in the video feed it receives from the
camera. If the distortion reaches the sensitivity specified in the software it will then
records the video feed until no distortion has occurred for a few seconds and also sends a
signal to activate the transmitter. The transmitter box will send a signal to the receiver
box. The receiver will then activate the messaging system and the device connected to
it.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
How can we feel safe and secure being away from home? This is the main
concern of all. The challenge of our group is to come up with a security system that is
reliable, accurate and affordable.
Specifically, this design seeks to answer the following questions:
1. How to interface an infrared camera to detect a motion?
2. How to control a cellular phone to serve as an alert device?
3. How accurate and reliable is the design?
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To be able to interface an infrared camera that can capture video when
motion is detected.
2. To create a controller for the cellular phone so that it can send a message
when triggered.
3. To create an accurate and reliable security system that encompasses SMS
technology.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Even we have locks for our home and doors people have still found ways to get
around them. All they need is a certain set of burglary tools and they are in. It is simple
for a home invader. This is why it is important that we get a security system installed in
our home so we don't have an invader and break in occurring in our home. If this scenario
had occurred, the system will warn the owner that there had been an intruder, upon break
in, it would only take a few seconds until the owner receives the SMS; warnings like this
7
8
can be the factor if the burglary would be a success or a failure. And the recorded video
can be used as evidence against the burglar.
This study is significant to us as students because it is the practical application of
all the knowledge we acquired while we are studying in Mapua Institute of Technology.
SCOPE
1. The camera can detect a motion within the maximum distance of 20 ft
radius at approximate angle of 110 degrees.
2. An alert will be triggered when there is motion on the captured video that
reaches the sensitivity specified in the program.
3. The device attached will be activated, records the video and sends a SMS
to the recipient if a motion is detected.
4. The computer will record the video feed and save it on the hard disk.
5. SMS will be sent to a cellular phone for alert.
6. The camera can be installed within 30 meters away from the computer.
DELIMITATIONS
1. The performance of the program depends on the computer where it was
installed.
2. The design is tested using only one cellular phone model, the Nokia 6210.
The efficiency and reliability of using other cellular phone models is not
covered in the study.
3. The cellular phone uses prepaid cards as credits. Once it runs out of
credit, the queued SMS messages will not be sent.
4. The camera’s coverage is limited.

METHODS AND PROCEDURES
RESEARCH DESIGN
The project design used both the Descriptive and Experimental research.
Descriptive research was used to search for the facts with enough information that was
needed in the project design. The research was mainly focused on finding what materials
to be used for the design. This was done by reading books as well as articles found in the
Internet. We also consulted with people who have knowledge regarding the project. In
addition to that, descriptive research was used because the relationship of the variables
was taken into consideration.
The following variables were taken into consideration in this project:
1. area of the room
2. the ease of installation of the camera for the purpose of presentation
3. lighting condition in the room being surveyed
4. distortion of the image captured by the IR camera
Experimental research was also used to determine the compatibility of the materials to be
used in the project design. With this, the group was able to determine and to finalize
what materials and components were considered best to use for this type of project
design.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
In developing this design, the following procedures were followed:
1. Determining the problem
2. Gathering data
3. Determining the required operations/procedures
4. Designing the system diagram
5. Software Programming
12
13
6. Acquisition of Materials
7. Hardware Assembly/Construction
8. Testing
9. Determining System Requirements
GATHERING DATA
To be able to achieve the goals, the researchers conducted the study by asking the help of
their colleagues and professors. Upon gathering all the information needed, they have
come up with a design that had a camera, cellular phone and it would be controlled by a
microcontroller and a Visual Basic based program.
DETERMINING THE REQUIRED OPERATIONS/PROCEDURES
For demonstration purposes, the system was installed in one of the classrooms in Mapua
Institute of Technology. The camera was attached to the center of the wall facing the two
doors of the classroom. All of the equipments used in this design were inside a room.
HARDWARE DESIGN
LIST AND ACQUISITION OF MATERIALS
The materials used in this design (shown in Appendix A) were purchased in Hua
Yang Electronics Enterprises, Alexan Commercial, and Powerwin Marketing. These
materials were picked to make sure the design would be affordable without sacrificing
accuracy and reliability.
HARDWARE COMPONENT
The main component of this design was the microcontroller. It was used to trigger
the alarm as well as the SMS alert. The microcontroller used was the PIC16F877. Here
are the reasons why the researchers decided to use this type of microcontroller:
• It is very affordable and available here in Philippine electronic market.
• It is a flash microcontroller which means reprogrammable.
• Device Programmer is available on the net and also free.
Another component of this design was the Nokia 6210 that was connected in the
receiver box. It was affordable and it had a built-in modem that used AT- commands.
Relays were also used in both the receiver and transmitter box. The relay acted as switch.
Whenever the program outputs a signal of 1 on the parallel port’s D4 and D5 (Figure 2),
the relays switched ON the alarm attached to the receiver box and commanded the
microcontroller to send a SMS alert using the Nokia 6210.

Figure 2. Parallel Port
CIRCUIT DESIGN
After all the data gathering and research, the researchers created a schematic
diagram of the circuit using the software called Proteus Virtual System Modelling
(VSM). The schematic diagram of the circuit is shown in Appendix C. After all the
testing using that program the actual circuit was created.
The system diagram as show in Figure 3 shows how the design will be connected.
As seen below, the camera is connected to the computer with the aid of a TV tuner. The
receiver box which contains the microcontroller will be controlled by the software which
will be installed on the computer. The receiver box will communicate with the computer
that has a security program using a wireless transmitter. The microcontroller used in this
design is PIC16F877. The program embedded on this microcontroller will be responsible
in activating the alarm attached to the system and will also send a SMS using the Nokia
6210 cellular phone once an intruder is detected. The program installed on the computer
16
will serve a sensor and will also be responsible in recording the video just in case an
intruder is detected.

SOFTWARE DESIGN
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
Visual Basic was the language used to create the program for our system. In
order for the program to work, IO.DLL should be in the system32 of the computer.
VideoCapX must also be installed and added as a component in visual basic. The
program started by initializing the IO.DLL and by setting all data ports to zero (0).
VideoCapX commands (refer to Appendix H) where used to preview and to capture
video from the IR camera.
The program developed has a very simple logic. As shown in the flowchart
(Figure 5), once the program is activated, it automatically detects movement in the
surveyed room. A sensitivity of two (2) was used to make use that the system performed
accurately. Once a motion reached a sensitivity of 2 or greater, the program started
recording the video coming from the IR camera. The program continued to record until
the movement stopped or once the motion in the room was less than 2 again. Once the
sensitivity was below 2 again, the program waited for ten (10) seconds. If a movement
was detected by the system within that 10 seconds period, the system continued to record
the video. If there was no movement within that period, the recording stopped and the
recorded video would be stored to the computer’s hard disk. The program consisted of
several functions to perform all the tasks discussed earlier.

PRESENTATION AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter focused on the analysis and interpretation of the data gathered using
experimental method to test the performance of the system that was designed. These data
gave an overview on how the system would perform on certain conditions and how
reliable and accurate the results.
The system was designed in such a way that very small movements from pests
like rats, cockroaches, flying mosquitoes and the like would not trigger any false alarm to
the users. The researchers considered certain elements like dust, insects and other
environmental factors that would not trigger a false alarm. This was done by making sure
that the sensor was sensitive enough without sacrificing the systems quality. By trial and
error, the researchers were able to set the appropriate sensitivity of the system. The
sensitivity used in the system was set to 2.
The ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under
stated conditions for a specified period of time was very important. Since no system was
100 percent accurate, there should be an assurance that the system designed would output
a very minimal errors.

Figure 5. Varying Distances at 90º angle
The system was first tested in broad daylight. Since the camera covered a limited
range of 110°(based on camera’s specification), it was tested first with all the movements
done within a distance of 2 ft from the camera and an angle of 90°. Please see Figure 5.

Table 1. Design Test Results during daytime within a scope of 90° and distance of 2ft
Based on the results shown in Table 1, all the movements done within 90° of the
camera’s scope and with a distance of 2 ft from where the camera was installed would
21
trigger the system. The said movements; walking, running, opening of the door and
throwing of big objects within a size of a basketball, throwing of small object within a
size of a baseball and waiving of hand were detected because they caused a large
distortion of more than 40% of the area of the video feed. The system was able to detect
those movements as an intrusion so the alarm was triggered and a SMS alert was sent.
After testing the system within the conditions stated in Table 1, some of the conditions
varied and tested the system again. All the same movements were done within a distance
of 12 ft and within the same angle of 90°. Please refer to Table 2.

Angle: 90°

(ft)
12 Walking Yes Yes
12 Running Yes Yes
Based on the results shown in Table 2, all the movements triggered the alarm of
the system just like before. The system was able to detect those movements as an
intrusion so the alarm was triggered and a SMS alert was sent. The system did this
because within these conditions, all the movements stated on the table caused a distortion
of at least 20% of the area of the captured video feed. After the second testing of the
system within the conditions stated in Table 2, some of the conditions varied again and
tested the system again. All the same movements were done within the same angle of
90° but with a distance of 22 ft. Please refer to Table 3.

Angle: 90°

22 Walking Yes Yes

22 Waive Hand No No
Based on the results shown in Table 3, the first 4 movements triggered the alarm
of the system just like before and a SMS alert was sent. However, the last 2 movements
were not detected by the system. Movements like walking, running, opening of the door
and throwing of big objects within a size of a basketball caused a distortion of at least 5%
of the area of the captured video feed while throwing of small object within a size of a
baseball and waiving of hand caused a distortion of 2% of the area of the video feed. The
tests were repeated with the conditions stated in table 4 but still got the same results. The
researchers came with a hypothesis that the system could be triggered by a distortion of at
least 5% of the area of the video feed. All movements that would cause distortions of
below 5% of the area of the video feed would not trigger the system.
After the tests, the researchers were not satisfied, so they conducted more series
of tests varying the angles where the movement would be done.

23
The researchers tested it again by varying the angle where the movement was
done. First they tried the same movements stated in the Tables 1, 2 and 3 but within an
angle of 45° from the camera (see Figure 6). The results were shown in Tables 4.a and
4.b.

Table 4.b Continuation of Table 4.a
Based on the results in Tables 4.a and 4.b, the system was able to detect the
movements like walking, running, opening a door and throwing a big object as an
intrusion no matter how far it was from the camera. However, referring to Table 4.b, the
last 2 movements were still not detected by the system when the testing distance was 22
ft because they caused a distortion of below 5% of the area of the video feed.

Varying the angle to 55° as shown in Figure 7, did not vary the output of the
system. Please refer to Table 5.

Table 5. Design Test Results during daytime within a scope of 55° and varying distance
Based on the results in Table 5, the system was able to detect the movements like
walking, running, opening a door and throwing a big object as an intrusion. But then
again, the last 2 movements were still not detected by the system when the testing
distance was 22 ft because they caused a distortion of below 5% of the area of the video
feed.
26
Varying the angle to 75° as shown in Figure 8, did not again change the results.
Please refer to Tables 6.a and 6.b for the results.

Table 6.b. Continuation of Table 6.a
The results shown in Tables 6.a and 6.b are just the same in the results shown in
previous tables. This means that as long as the movement being done is still within the
scope of the camera, the system can be triggered. We have also observed that the last
two movements (throwing of small objects and waiving of hand) within a distance of 22
ft on any angle from the scope of the camera was still not detected as an intrusion
because those movements caused distortions of below 5% on the area of the video feed.
Once those said movements were done closer to the camera, the movements were easily
detected as an intrusion just like the results in the previous tables.

28
We could still see that there is still a blind spot referring to Figure 9. This is the
disadvantage of using only one camera. To be able to solve this limitation, the group
would like to recommend the use of multiple cameras to achieve maximum coverage.
However, the reliability of using multiple cameras is not covered in this study.
Since most of the time the security system is activated during night time or in
total darkness, the researchers also tested the system during night time without use of any
lighting. Since the researchers were using an IR camera which was designed to be used as
a night vision, they could still see the video feed as if there was an aid of light as shown
in Figure 10. The result of the said test is shown in Table 7.
Operating Condition: Night Time

Angle: 90°
Distance
(ft)
2 Walking Yes Yes
2 Running Yes Yes
Table 7. Design Test Results during the night within a scope of 90° and distance of 2ft
Based on the results shown in Table 7, there is no difference in the output of the
system even if the system is activated during night time. All movements were still
detected as an intrusion within the range of 90° and a distance of 2 ft because it caused a
large distortion of more than 40% of the area of the video feed just like the results in
Table 1.

Operating Condition: Night time

Angle: 90°
Distance
(ft)
12 Walking Yes Yes
12 Running Yes Yes
Varying the distance to 12 ft. where the movements were done during night time
did change the output of the system. Just like what was discussed in Table 2, the
movements caused a distortion of at least 20% of the area of the captured video feed.
After the second testing of the system within the conditions stated in Table 8, the distance
was varied and the system was tested again. All the same movements were done within
the same angle of 90° but with a distance of 22 ft. Please refer to Table 9.

Angle: 90°
Distance
(ft)
22 Walking Yes Yes
22 Running Yes Yes
22 Waive Hand No No
Based on the results gathered in Table 9, the system still performed the same even
during night time. The first 4 movements triggered the alarm of the system just like
before and a SMS alert was sent while the last 2 movements were not detected by the
30
system at the distance of 22 ft. It was decided to vary the angle to 45°. Please refer to
Table 10.

Table 10. Design Test Results during the night within a scope of 45° and varying distance
Based on the results gathered in Table 10 which were in night time operating
condition, the system still performed the same as if it used in day time. This means that as
long as the movement being done was still within the scope of the camera, the system
could be triggered. It was observed that the last two movements (throwing of small
objects and waiving of hand) within a distance of 22 ft on any angle from the scope of the
camera was still not detected as an intrusion because those movements caused distortions
of below 5% on the area of the video feed.

Based on the results obtained in Table 12, the system produced same results as
compared to other tables that have different angles and in day time operating condition.

33
After all the tests with the system the researchers were able to come up with some
general observations:
1. The design could perform accurately within different working conditions e. g.
day, night and with or without light.
2. The system could be triggered depending on the type of movement in the
surveyed room as well as the distance of that movement from the IR camera.
3. The system relayed on the percentage of distortion on the captured video to be
able to detect an intruder.
4. Approximately 5% distortion on the area of the video feed was needed to consider
that an intruder entered the surveyed area.

Chapter 4
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusions
After the group developed and tested the device, the following were drawn:
1. A program created using Visual Basic was used in order to detect intrusion on a
secured room based on the video feed coming from an IR camera.
2. A microcontroller was used to send a SMS alert to the owner and to trigger the
device attached to the system whenever an intruder was detected in the secured
area.
3. To be able to make sure that the system developed was reliable and accurate, it
was tested to several working conditions. To achieve maximum reliability and
accuracy of the system, a sensitivity of 2 was used in the said program.
Recommendations
For further improvement on the development of an SMS Security System, the

following are recommend:
1. Install the created software in a computer that can process faster for the system to
perform better.
2. Make use of GSM module instead of Nokia 6210 to assure that the SMS alert will
be more stable.
3. Collaborate with the cellular network providers to decrease the expense for text
messaging.
4. Use more than one camera to achieve maximum coverage and avoid any blind
spots.

Important Notice
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if
included, a monitoring station, of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally
very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for
prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be
installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the
level of protection that has been provided and on system operations.
