The Development and Implementation of a Monitoring System for STRC with the Aid of Head Detection aims to automate the research room operations to increase its efficiency. It consists of a head detection system, website managed database and a mobile application controlled room access. The website and mobile application cater to two types of users namely, the administrator and the students. The website exclusively features announcements and management of equipment inventory both handled by the administrator. The mobile application features an IN/OUT button which manages the users access on the 5 research rooms in the building. The head detection system detects, tracks and counts each person that enters a research room. The count noted by the system is then compared to the count of students that used the mobile application for room access. The e-mail and sms notification system observes the comparison of the two counts and sends the appropriate notification to the administrator when there is a violation in the conditions set for the two systems. The database serves as the central point as it holds every information needed by each element in order to communicate with the whole system.
