Introduction
Security has been one of the major concerns of today’s daily living. Home and business industry’s security issues become a major concern since everyone in the industry wants to protect their investments from any form of destruction or loss. In terms of security, technology has its own contribution in developing equipment with a better degree of providing security and monitoring a given area or establishment that requires security.
Security systems consist of alarms and sensors which are being installed in the houses for effective and efficient way of protecting home properties. It is designed to detect burglar incidents. Security and protection system are any of various means or devices designed to guard persons and property against a broad range of hazards, including crime, fire, accidents, espionage, sabotage, subversion, and attack (Encyclopedia.org, 2014). One of the common security alarm systems that uses sensor is the car alarm system. Car alarm is a device in a car which makes a loud noise if anyone tries to break into the vehicle.(Collins Dictionary, n.d.) With these, an attempt for theft is immediately discouraged.
Most of the buildings install closed circuit television surveillance system to monitor and record the situation inside the building. It can oversight burglary incidents through its video records. However, in the proponents’ view this type of system is not enough to give real time security to avoid damages of properties because the incident will be noticed only after the incident happened or after the video records were reviewed.
Most of the building incidents like burglary is being done in the presence of security systems is because the criminal knows that the system is not real time and just recording happenings. Therefore, these kind of people can plan on what they will do to be unnoticed. Because of this observation, the proponents have come up with the idea of developing a project entitled “Home Security System with Mobile Application for Fire Detection and Intruders” to enhance the level of security, to avoid damage to properties, and even for personal protection.
