1. Introduction

Technology has become more important in this millennium era, as it has become a need for almost every people in the world. With the development of technology, the statistics of criminalization had also increases as there are many new methods to do their crime by misusing the technology that was invented to help people. Various technology inventions had been made to overcome this problem. One of them is a surveillance method that was invented to keep an eye on the criminal, be it an intruder, a robber or a theft. The objective of this project is to come up with a more advanced surveillance system than the previous one, can respond quickly (faster), have the ability to integrate different party, which is the owner, the security, and the police, and can inform the police and the user quickly by using SMS, MMS and email. Our project also aims to develop a system that offers more support than the previous system and have the ability to monitor and track multi-target criminal, whether it is in a fixed property (house) or moving property (car).
