Research Tasks

Today the team met with the Professor Nayda Santiago about our idea discussed in the previous blog, the parking security. We were told that to research each idea more extensively, finding out how things could be done and how much it would cost, as well as other aspects of the project idea.

The idea was acceptable so we can finally now begin the more focused research for the idea without fear of being way off an acceptable project idea.

The team will begin investigating online information on prices and facts for motion sensors and cameras and compile them into a small detailed report to be provided to the professor this week. Hopefully this document will reconfirm the project idea as being a more viable project since during research we may modify some ideas.

As of the moment we are going to research:

• How to monitor battery life remotely
• How to implement solar cells
• How to make motion detectors and how they work (sensitivity - since we don't want birds activating the camera)
• How to stream live camera feed to anyone who is cleared to view security cameras as well as store recorded information.
• Find and compare prices of all items
• How to interface everything together

The team will be meeting tuesday at 11:30 am to discuss research results, and begin an additional session of brainstorming for things that need to be researched.
