ABSTRACT
Video means moving objects and surveillance refers to observation and analyzation on a certain
thing for safety and business purposes. The motivating points for the video surveillance camera usages are
safety law and order crime control concerns. Cameras which do surveillance of moving objects are
utilised in retail shops public market places organized banks and automatic money collecting machines.
Nowadays researches experience continuous developments in surveillance newtworks. The reason behind
is the unstable incidents that are happening all around the world. Hence there is a need of a novel smart
system for surveillance governing intelligently that captures data in real time transmits processes and
understands the information related to those monitored. Hence these systems ensure high level of
challengeable security at remote usually crowded public places. Since video cameras are available at good
price in the market hence video surveillance systems have become more popular. Video surveillance plays
vital role in security systems.
Key words: Motion detection Sensor Surveillance Visual Sensor.
INTRODUCTION
Surveillance cameras can be an effective technique to protect public safety and
detect criminal activity. Surveillance cameras are increasingly being installed inside and
outside of public buildings like elevators hallways entrances etc. on streets home
highways in parks and public transportation vehicles. Nowa days it is seen that surveillance
cameras are already prevalent in commercial establishments with camera output being
recorded to tapes that are either rewritten periodically or stored in video archives. To extract
the maximum benefit from this recorded digital data detect any moving object from the
scene is needed without engaging any human eye to monitor things all the time. Real-time

detection of moving regions in image sequences is a fundamental steps and applications. The
video captured image is being processed by the MATLAB program that helps in motion
detection. Frame difference calculates the differences between two frames at every pixel
position and store the absolute difference. It is used to view the moving objects in a
sequence of frames. This is done according to threshold value when the video recorder is
still working.

EXPERIMENTAL
Literature survey
Main purpose of motion detection is to extract moving object area in image
sequences. There are total four methods used to detect the motion that are temporal
difference background subtraction optical flow analysis and spatial temporal entropy
method. Some papers describe this is given here. ZazilahBinti May et al describes temporal
difference method by comparing consecutive frames on a pixel by pixel basis and
background subtraction method used for detecting moving objects in videos from moving
camera using region based model

. Wei Shuigen et al describes temporal difference and
optical flow field method

. But this method is sensitive to illumination changes and in the
background. So a newer system is proposed here.
Proposed system
External GSM modem is connected to a computer via serial cable or USB. The
GSM/GPRS modem requires a SIM card to operate and is configured using AT commands.
In special scenario GSM provides us a wide scope in controlling things remotely from any
place just with our finger tips. GSM also provides ease to easily communicate in a more

robust way. The propose system uses MATLAB as environment to detect motion in real
time video. The process of detection occurs by taking two sequenced frames for example
frame 1 and frame 2 after converting them to gray and compares to find the mismatching
between them according to a specific threshold which will be described later. The Graphical
user interface which also contains two buttons to pause and resume the video capturing.
Fig. 2: Prototype of the system
The comparison starts between frame 1 and 2 then frame3 and 4 and so on thus by
using this method there is no reference image or background of detection which is compared
sequentially with all video frames so this proposal system can be applied in any place.

Once the motion is detected an alert is generated and if user wants he can enable the
SMS Notification option to get the SMS from the surveillance system when an object is
detected causing motion.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The objective of visual surveillance system is to find out the motion made by any
object in the surveillance area and generate the alert and allow user to get SMS notification
once the motion is taking place in that area.

CONCLUSION
Trying human motion slow and fast with different error threshold values for the
same motion the results show that the appropriate value is between 1.3 and 1.5 especially if
several motions medium changes occur in the scene this will give less number of saved
images that contain false or wrong detections. If the case and the threshold are not standard
we can specify a threshold according to our location that we want to monitor.
