Abstract

In recent years, the world has seen a lot of progress in automated home systems. The existing home automation systems are basic: turning switches on/off, etc. over the Internet. But this leaves a lot to be desired in the Home Security department. While there are systems that let you view your security camera feed, this is highly time consuming and counter-productive. Pressing of buttons also needs to be replaced with a voice-to-text and a text-to-voice feedback system to enable ease of access. Also, using the Internet servers to control devices makes the systems prone to server-related issues like lag when the servers are overloaded, etc. Hence, there is a need to access the devices in Real Time. This paper deals with all of the above mentioned issues. It deals with the idea of using PubNub Networks as a real time operator, and using facial recognition interfaced with the Face book account of the home owner to make the surveillance of homes more time saving and accurate, and usage of a mobile application-based interactive feedback system.
