Society has been very concern about the important of safety and security that leads the manufacturing company to design several of security systems ranging from the simple to complex systems. This report present information on the research involves in Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System, which is purposely design for vehicle security and safety since most of the road transportation lack of security and safety features, which may cause vehicle fatalities that increase from year to year. Hence, the function of the Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System is to trigger an alarm if any abnormal condition happens to inform and alert the vehicle driver about the situation through the use of advance warning messages. This research covers the studies of the application software that involves with manipulating data from the serial port and displaying the data into a proper GUI design. This report features the introduction that explains the background of study, problem statement, significant of the project, objectives and the scope of study of the project research. The author also writes the literature review or theory from several researchers for supporting information or reference to support the project research. The software development methodology use by the author for the project research is taken from several steps of Software Development Life Cycle and Waterfall Model in order to suit the research needs, which also used the concept of static data applied in the prototype. Procedure identification is briefly discussed in order to complete the research and describe tools of hardware and software use to design the product. The author visualize the results of the findings and discusses more details on the serial interface, database storage and GUI interface of the system including the software chosen to accomplish the project of the Vehicle Surveillance Alarm System. The author writes the conclusions and recommendations for further research and future enhancement that includes in the final chapter of the report. The end-result of the research is the static vehicle alarm system software prototype that satisfies the basic needs of vehicle alarm system. The prototype visualize how the vehicle alarm system enables the vehicle driver to be alert by any uncertainty behaviors from the vehicle component, retrieve and view available data of the surveillance history records through the system.
