An IoT Concept for Region Based Human Detection Using PIR Sensors and FRED Cloud

Abstract

Present day Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Internet of Thing (IoT) plays a vital role for Surveillance and security. This paper presents region based object/human detection and alert notification to the control room or administration. In this case PIR sensors are used in different region which helps to detect and alert the presence of objects covered by the sensor zone which is called as the field of view (FoV). An ESP-8266 Wi-Fi module is used to create the WSN network. It helps to send the information to the cloud using cloud service provider. The information is sent to the FRED cloud service and the same can be stored in local database (MongoDB). This information can be retrieved from the database at the time of requirement i.e. for future use. From the implementation result, it has been found that with proper deployment of sensors, PIR sensors perform well for the human/object detection.
