Intrusion Detection for Surveillance Purposes using Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has numerous applications in our daily life. This paper discusses the usage of wireless sensors in monitoring and surveillance of one or more intruders in a pre-defined area of interest. Detection probability of intruder is analyzed versus different parameters. Results show the intrusion detection probability versus some parameters such as sensor sensing radius, number of nodes, radius of the coverage area, node availability, probability of active nodes and node density. Furthermore, we investigated the performance of the expected time of detecting an intruder by changing the node density and at different scenarios of intruder velocities.
