IoT devices and their applications are supporting humankind in almost all domains. This chapter explores LoRaWAN and proposes to integrate the commodity cameras installed at the security points of most of the gates to residential areas. LoRaWAN is a media access control (MAC) protocol for wide area networks and it has been opted for its functional and architectural scalability. The intelligent inputs are transferred from the commodity cameras to the data concentrators (DC), on edge-based computing, the DC can transfer this input to fog, cloud, remote servers for machine learning integrations. This chapter demonstrates the basic architectural framework of the said implementation. However, the detailed implementation and prototype is beyond the scope of this chapter. The chapter has however demonstrated the architecture. The features of the commodity cameras have been listed that can serve as the feed to the concentrators that shall enable alarm generations at the local and remote policing sites.
