Abstract
The microcontroller based intruder lighting system is an intelligent system which applies to automated lighting systems in homes, offices, industries, military zones etc. The research will feature design microcontroller based intruder lighting system that will activate light in environment in the presence of an intruder and inform the user about the coordinate position of the intruder.
The microcontroller AT89C51 and other electronic designs were employed for the above-mentioned purpose. The interfacing layer will make use of bi-directional communication in which the sensors is used as input device to receive signal when the intruder obstruct signal path while the control program will translate the received signal from the sensors to useful information and activate lighting system and camera. The camera will capture image of intruder and save to external memory. The design is to achieve energy-saving techniques and increase security strength of target environment.
