The four members of SWAT

Team members:

Our design team will create a home security system that utilizes infrared sensors. There will be a centralized control station that will collect data and monitor all of the sensor nodes. The system will be set up inside and will be systematically placed around doorways, windows, and passageways.

Each sensor will operate independently of the others but will communicate with the control station. The sensors will be set up such that they are wireless with relation to the control station. The sensors will be idle but periodically sample their immediate environment to detect changes. If a change is detected, then the sample frequency will increase for that specific node. All of this will be tracked and recorded by the control station.
