This document describes the design of an efficient embedded surveillance system using smart sensors and a Raspberry Pi. The system uses PIR (pyroelectric infrared) sensors and ultrasonic sensors to detect intruders. When motion is detected, a camera captures images which are then automatically emailed to authorized personnel. This avoids data storage costs and ensures confidential data is not lost. The Raspberry Pi is used to send captured images via the internet. The system aims to improve detection reliability by using multiple sensor types and a majority voting mechanism. It provides remote monitoring capabilities with low power consumption.
