IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR SECURITY DEPARTMENT

Delivering real-time surveillance services to handheld devices over the Internet
is an interesting application in the mobile environment. Developing such system needs
tackle considerable design challenges including device downsides, platform
heterogeneity and bandwidth limitation. In University Technology Petronas (UTP), the
wireless technology is currently not very popular. Therefore, the purpose of this project
is to introduce the wireless technology to the security department of UTP by
strengthening the security summon, sticker, key booking and matrices card manual
procedure and system from any violation and modification of information that can be
detected easily and corrective action can be taken faster. As UTP become evolve and
grow, security department rule are become huge. Therefore they need to prepare them
with efficient computerized solution to perform data update and to access data from
diverse location.
The objective of this paper is to research on wireless technology that is suitable
for security department system and suitable for UTP environment. To elaborate this, we
can see that this system is integrated with Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) that equip
with Bluetooth technology. With the capabilities of 10 meters radius sphere, this system
can be accessed via the PDA in that range and data transfer rates are comparatively
slow at 1-2 megabits per second. But there is another that can be used which is WIFI
with the range of 30 meters and data transfer rated at 2-11 megabits per second. For the
purpose of this project Bluetooth technology have been chosen to show the system
functionality and performance. The methodology use for the project is Rapid
Application Development that has four phases; requirement planning, user design,
construction and cutover. The suggested solution will lead to build a prototype of new
computerized system that can be accessed using the PDA for Security Department of
University Technology Petronas..
