In addition to the increasing awareness of efficient home surveillance system, the implementation of real-time alert system is important for users. Real-time implementation is achieved by using a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) modem for SMS (Short Message Service) notification supplemented by e-mail notification for recording data off-site to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) storage. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005TM is used to execute the algorithm of the system for SMS and e-mail notification, and as well as prompting visual device for motion detection. The ablity of tracking and recognition of the visual device was implemented using OpenCV� converted into MATLAB� for output display. In this paper, the results of system were shown sequentially, demonstrating that the notification were sent as the motion event is happening, emulating real-time components. © 2012 IEEE. publisher: IEEE Computer Society date: 2012 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: May, Z.B.
