IoT Security & Power Saving System
Final-year academic project — smart street lighting and security using Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi IoT Academic
Project goal
Improve street security and reduce energy waste by combining motion detection, imaging, and automated lighting control in a single embedded system.
Hardware & software
- Platform: Raspberry Pi with NOOBS OS
- Sensors: PIR motion sensor, Pi Camera Module
- Output: LED lighting control
- Features: Motion-triggered alerts, smart detection, notification pipeline (40% completion at documentation stage)
Outcomes
Demonstrated proof-of-concept for energy-efficient public lighting: lights activate on motion rather than running continuously, while the camera supports security monitoring when activity is detected.
