It can be very beneficial if you could for you could actually sell it in the market. Please do update me once you have this system working. I’m really looking forward to your success. With this idea, I’m pretty sure home security will definitely trend worldwide.Alexander Landrumhttp://www.accesssecurity.com/services/ul-listed-central-alarm-monitoring-system-in-philadelphia/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-69871032984381659822013-03-25T09:45:48.766-04:002013-03-25T09:45:48.766-04:00I guess it’s time for you to go deeper.

This can be more beneficial because if this project works out just fine, you’ll be able to market it. I do hope it goes well with Erlang programming language.Louisa Hemstreethttp://www.andrusaudio.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-29047612194261599812013-03-15T16:02:50.796-04:002013-03-15T16:02:50.796-04:00Odessa,

I've had some false starts and some stasis, but it is always lurking in my thoughts.<br /><br />As I have alluded on later posts, linux-level technology is getting cheap enough that I don't have to spend so much time at the low end.<br /><br />I've been trying to see how much I could accomplish using a USB camera and off the shelf sensors.<br /><br />The real key to this project is in the intelligence gathering and dissemination. Certainly bringing the data to the internet opens it up to notification delivery via phone (SMS), smart phone, email and web browser. All using standard telephony/internet technology.<br /><br />This is a unique (as far as I know) perspective: Treat the sensor data as mission critical business/comm transactions. <br /><br />This project is due for a reboot. Stay tuned.toddbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551771132277351922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-10607951873221091772013-03-14T16:20:44.885-04:002013-03-14T16:20:44.885-04:00How’s the project going?

This would be a great addition to a home security system, or if you can add that too, that would complete the package. :)<br /><br />One thing though: what feedback mechanism are you planning to use? Will it be able to project results to your phone, or is it strictly a “check from PC” monitoring?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.alarmrelay.com/" rel="nofollow">Odessa Hanton</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020975087106752744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-48686783519251256682012-07-21T14:35:37.536-04:002012-07-21T14:35:37.536-04:00Alex,

I was planning on ...Alex,<br />Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />I was planning on (initially) using AWS (since Amazon offers a free tier). The cloud part of this system should be reliable, but building high reliability (and data retention) into the sensor base station is my priority right now. I could build redundant paths out of the base station to go to different servers if I am worried about cloud availability. I've also considered connecting a GSM modem to the base station and use SMS as another possible delivery path (to the end user, not the cloud).<br /><br /><br />My system intends to be cloud "aware" not cloud dependent.toddbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551771132277351922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-72369685502492159262012-07-20T23:37:37.492-04:002012-07-20T23:37:37.492-04:00You mention cloud here, and maybe I missed it whil...You mention cloud here, and maybe I missed it whilst browsing, but what are you using? <br /><br />The reliability requirement maybe narrows the field. GAE advertises uptime stats. Maybe an SLA. Being free to fairly heavy usage levels may also match your need. You seem to research well so apologies if I'm not saying much of use :)<br /><br />Appreciate that you've taken the time to share. I found my brain hurt switching from low level work to web/cloud, I underestimated how many extra skills I'd have to pick up.

The source will be in MyForth, so I'm not sure many people will want to hack at it ;-)<br /><br />The base system code (Erlang) isn't beyond the "trying a few things in erlang shell". That will be slower coming...toddbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551771132277351922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-57785114716367319662012-06-14T13:45:49.468-04:002012-06-14T13:45:49.468-04:00Great project, will you be releasing (Github'i...Great project, will you be releasing (Github'ing...), anything in the meantime so that we (as the ones interested in it) can have a look & potentially try it ... ?Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-3299077796421854212012-06-14T08:17:00.468-04:002012-06-14T08:17:00.468-04:00Yes.

I use http://tools.jeelabs.org/rfm12b to help with parameter configuration.<br /><br />Sensor size is also a factor in my project. I am currently expecting my finished board to be just large enough to mount the rfm12b module and consist of mostly surface mount components. The whole sensor, including enclosure will be very small (the battery and rfm12b module being the largest 2 components).toddbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551771132277351922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-79439993050778113122012-06-14T00:13:49.465-04:002012-06-14T00:13:49.465-04:00I take it you have looked at JeeNodes.
