Abstract

The project about to develop Generic Webcam with Raspberry Pi. Nowadays, many elderly are live alone at home when their children are busy with work. Some others do not live together with their children at all. When it happen, it make more elderly person need to do their own. It makes much accident happen. With this project, family members can monitor their parent from anywhere. To avoid from the bad happen in home, I am proposing the project Smart Monitoring Device for Elderly. The use of Raspberry Pi and Webcamare increasingpopular because there are many systems that can be developed with these technologies to facilitate daily activities. The Raspberry Pi acts as a small computer and Webcam acts as a camera to capture and record with high resolution when motion is detected, so it is easier to locate incident pictures and video. The Raspberry Pi 3 as a main component because it just using only 5.1V/2.5A power supply which using less power and save more energy. The function in this project is will detect the motion of elderly in the range time limit to record and send the alert notification to the family member via Telegram applications to take an action. The detection happen when the elderly going down on the floor and not move in the time that has setting before. The advantages for this project to avoid from death among these elderly. Mostly elderly had chronic disease, so they need more attention and care. The family members take the responsibility to the elderly when the falling happen among them.
