Demo: A Real-time and Robust Intrusion Detection System with Commodity Wi-Fi

Intrusion detection plays a rather important role in many applications, like asset protection and elder caring. Since we cannot make any requirements on the intruder, a device-free passive way of intrusion detection is much more promising and practical. In order to achieve robust passive intrusion detection, various techniques have been proposed, including video-based, infra-based and sensor-based approaches, among which dedicated device installation is often required. In this work, we present a real-time and robust device-free intrusion detection system, named RR-Alarm. By reusing the existing Wi-Fi signals, RR-Alarm is able to detect human intrusion in real time, at the same time, requiring no additional facilities installation. By utilizing the Doppler effects incurred by human motion on multiple Wi-Fi devices, RR-Alarm is not only able to accurately detect the intrusion without any extra human efforts but also avoids a large number of false alarms caused by the human motion from outside the house. A long-term trial in a nursing home verifies the effectiveness of our Wi-Fi based RR-Alarm system.
