A Remote Surveillance Model for Appliance Control

Remote appliance control is an important vision for the smart home. Even in the next few decades, it is inevitable that conversional appliances and smart appliance will coexist together to help people live better. For this reason, this research proposed a remote control model for the conversional appliances to integrate with smart home environment. In this model, a smart home portal combined with video surveillance system was used to realize the appliance control. Total control cycle is base on what you see is what you have done. The main benefits of this model come from the mature technology, simple design, light-weight architecture, and practicable for implementation.
