Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) involve the deployment of small, inexpensive, and limited capability devices to gain information about a given location. This project focuses on intrusion detection in any environment to test the limitations and capabilities of WSNs. Specifically, the goal is to detect any intrusive behavior with a limited number of human resources. The capstone team developed a simulation testbed program using C# to duplicate real life surveillance scenarios. The simulation technique can be applied in a variety of settings including agricultural monitoring, disaster relief, public utilities, security surveillance (commercial and private), traffic control, and military operations. The overall motivation behind designing this project involved reducing the number of personnel needed to monitor any given area and gain intelligent information to make informed decisions.
