Abstract:
In a society where monitoring and security are one of the most important concerns, this system represents a convenient and interesting low-cost solution in terms of intruder detection. Using widely spread infrastructure such as Wi-Fi routers and laptops, we proposed an innovative alternative, capable of detecting intruders by sensing the different electromagnetic interference caused. These perturbations are sensed by the system through the changes in the acquired Wi-Fi Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), in the presence of obstacles/targets between the transmitter and receiver.
