REAL TIME CHILD MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON RASPBERRY PI AND BEACON TECHNOLOGY USING ANDROID APP.

This paper proposes a secure child monitoring system that can be accessed online through the website with authorized parties. It uses Raspberry Pi microcomputer and a Pi camera in order to capture real time video so as to develop a web based system where Python and PHP software are used. This system provides security and safety in monitoring their children remotely. A Bluetooth based iBeacon technology with Android app is developed to detect the current floor position of the children in the daycare. iBeacon technology is based on the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Received Signal Strength (RSS) . Smartphone Application for interacting with the beacons is developed for Android device. It allows the user to determine the distance between the child and individual beacon.
