Advanced embedded security system with image capturing in SD card

Abstract:
Security is primary concern for every one. There are many ways to provide security at
banks, homes and at some shops and industries. There are many technologies coming out
to provide more security and safety. In this project we will provide security with the help
of JPEG camera to store the intruder photo
This Project describes a design of effective security alarm system that can monitor the
banks or some security places with IR sensors, if any intruder is detected at IR sensor
then this system immediately take the picture using camera and stores the picture data in
SD card. This image can be seen on laptop by using binary to JPEG converting software.
The camera will give the binary data of image through UART protocol. The camera is
initiated by sending some command through UART protocol .To operate the camera we
are using advanced ARM7 based LPC2148 micro controller.
The NXP (founded by Philips) LPC2148 is an ARM7TDMI-S based high-performance
32-bit RISC Microcontroller with Thumb extensions 512KB on-chip Flash ROM with InSystem Programming (ISP) and In-Application Programming (IAP), 32KB RAM,
Vectored Interrupt Controller, Two 10bit ADCs with 14 channels, USB 2.0 Full Speed
Device Controller, Two UARTs, Two I2C serial interfaces, Two SPI serial interfaces Two
32-bit timers, Watchdog Timer, PWM unit, Real Time Clock with optional battery
backup, Brown out detect circuit General purpose I/O pins.
The advantage of SD memory card is we can store more data, the storage range is
in Giga Bytes and the read and write cycles are more, fast and we can create files in
suitable formats. The communication between SD card and our controller is established
using SPI communication. And the advantage of using LPC2148 micro controller is it has
two inbuilt SPI serial interfaces and can communicate with high speed as it is a 32 bit
controller.
