Access control and surveillance in a smart home

Abstract

In the past years smart homes solutions have become more and more popular with the introduction of a high number of both Internet of Things (IoT) applications and smart devices. Home automation and security systems market is in a continuous growth, traditional security systems are evolving fast, and more and more people choose Smart home solutions. In this paper, we propose two IoT based systems in the context of Smart homes: qToggle for multiple home automation, and MotionEyeOS, a video surveillance OS for single-board computers. Most qToggle devices are based on ESP8266/ESP8285 chips or on Raspberry Pi boards and smart sensors, while MotionEye uses Raspberry Pi boards.
