An RF-Based Surveillance System Using Commercial Off-the-Shelf Wireless LAN Components

Overview This paper presents an indoor surveillance system implemented using the commercially available wireless LAN infrastructure. Taking advantage of the programmability of the wireless network nodes, a wireless network is built that has two modes of operation: the communication mode, when the network is used as a traditional wireless LAN, and the surveillance mode, when the network is used as a distributed sensor network that can detect illegal intrusion by detecting changes in the propagation environment caused by the intruder. The experimental results show promising through-the-wall intrusion detection capabilities in an office environment.
