The project titled 'Target Tracking System using Ultrasonic Sensors' is based on improving the security system in Malaysia. Statistic by Polis Diraja Malaysia (Royal Malaysian Police) shown that compared to the year 2006, the crime is increases by 13.4 percent in 2007. Thus, this project focuses on expanding the application of ultrasonic technology into closed circuit televisions (CCIV) which has been widely use in many other sectors but never been applied in security system in Malaysia. The outcome of this project is a working prototype of a target tracking system using ultrasonic sensor which can detect and track a moving object within the radius of 3 meters. This project uses one transmitter and two receivers bound on both side of the transmitter. On top of the transmitter and receivers is the camera to capture image of the moving object. The method used in tracking the moving object is by comparing the voltage of both receivers and controlled by the PIC used in this project which is the PIC l6F877. The working prototype has been successfully completed and it is very important in fighting crime if it is installed accordingly.
