© 2016 IEEE. Nowadays, Thailand is in the aging society because the number of elderly population is more than 10 percent and keeps increasing every years, while the household size is decreasing. As a consequence, more elderly people have to live alone. Moreover, there are more than 10 percent of elderly's accidents occurred each year. In 2015, elderly abuses are more than 2 million cases and most of them are in elderly's house. With these reasons, Home Security System for Elderly People who Live Alone is proposed to facilitate and increase the security level for elderly people. The system is a smart doorbell which allows elderly people to see, hear, and speak to their visitors at the front door via their mobiles to avoid a face-to-face communication. Moreover, the system provides an emergency broadcast to notify the members of elderly's family and the elderly's neighbor to receive the help timely.
