Design of a home surveillance system based on the android platform

This paper has designed and implemented a video surveillance system based on the smart Android terminal equipment. This system consists of two parts, including the server and the client. The server is responsible for the video acquisition and the H.264 video encoding. The video transmission uses RTP protocol. The client is responsible for receiving data, and completing the decoding and playback. Because of the limited storage capacity of mobile devices, the server implements the face detection function, which only stores the critical information. This monitoring system is applied to Android phones which are used for the elderly. With the arrival of the social trend of population aging in China, customers can get information about the old people at home by using this monitoring system. It can provide emergency alert about emergency situations. This system has a good mobile performance and transmission stability. It is intelligent, convenient and practical.
