Affordable Mobile Application Camera System to Monitor Residential Societies’ Vehicle Activity

EasyChair Preprint 15735

Abstract

Security and vehicle activity monitoring are vital aspects of managing residential societies. However, traditional surveillance systems are often expensive and complex, making them impractical for smaller communities. This paper introduces a cost-effective mobile application-based camera system designed to monitor vehicle movements in residential areas. By leveraging affordable IoT cameras and existing smartphone capabilities, the system offers an accessible and scalable solution for enhancing security. The system integrates features such as automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), motion detection, and real-time alerts. A secure cloud-based platform is employed for data storage and retrieval, enabling residents and security staff to monitor live footage, review past events, and receive notifications for unauthorized vehicle access. Its user-friendly interface ensures that even non-technical users can effectively utilize the system. This approach combines affordability with advanced functionality, providing a practical alternative to conventional surveillance systems. By focusing on simplicity and efficiency, the proposed system empowers residential societies to enhance security and streamline vehicle activity monitoring without incurring significant costs.
