This study
focuses on the improvement of campus security to ensure a safe academic
environment for enhancement of academic environment that facilitates learning.
The design leverages a solar-powered street lighting system, integrated with a
security alarm feature and automation in the motion detection and ON and OFF
systems, to allow for smart operation. This implementation helps to address the
challenges of inadequate nighttime illumination and response to suspicious
activities, especially in off-grid or underlit areas of campus environments.
The designed system utilizes photovoltaic panels to generate power stored in
batteries, which powers LED streetlights. An integrated motion detection alarm
system activates both audio and visual alerts upon detecting suspicious
movement at night. The system operates independently of grid power, ensuring
continuous security coverage in critical areas, thus improving campus safety
and sustainability. Finally, the design was tested, and the results indicated
that motions are detected at 10 meters from the sensors, and the system
recorded a 95% performance.
