E-Box

• C Program design
• Evaluates videos recorded on camera using blob
  detection algorithm
• Checks for alerts received from sensors and blob
  detection algorithm
• Uploads live surveillance video to server
  available to the user for streaming
• Commands the MySQL database to create new tables
  upon alert
• Provide power for camera and sensors
• Drivers to provide functionality to sensors
• Provide Wi-Fi capability for interrupt program to
  notify server of alert.

14
Internet Server

• Storage for surveillance videos
• MySQL database that organizes surveillance videos
  and necessary information
• PHP Scripts
• Checks database for new videos uploaded
• APNS notification system

15
iPhone Application

• Graphical user interface
• View live and previously recorded surveillance
  videos
• Modify preferences and enable/disable security
  service components
• Provide capability to quickly perform tasks upon
  notifications
• Receive push notification alerts upon detection
  from unit

16
Acceptance Testing

• E-Box has the image of the operating system
  loaded and is working without issues
• Hello World script is working on the E-Box
• USB 2.0 port is working properly
• iPhone application development initial screen is
  designed
