Abstract

Physical Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) are deployed as complementary security measures to ensure safety of home and other edifices from burglars. Several systems have been proposed for physical intrusion using single or multiple detection sensors, surveillance cameras amongst others. Often, some systems send messages containing text, image or video of suspected intruders to responders via wireless communication networks. However, the systems were custombuilt from assemblage of disparate hardware components, which increased the cost of implementation and required some levels of expertise to setup. Also, research efforts to curtail false intrusion alerts from the PIDS have not been sufficiently addressed. Thus, this paper presents a framework for Mobile-based Physical Intrusion Detection System (MPIDS) that turns smart mobile devices to PIDS for home or personal usage. Subsequently, the framework was conceptually and empirically validated for physical home security. In reality, the proposed M-PIDS could save cost, reduce false intrusion alert rate and minimize setup effort, while increasing physical security for smart city dwellers.
