Due to its simplicity, directness, and rich content, home video surveillance has gradually become the core content of the smart home security system. The rapid development of computer technology, the internet, video image processing, and transmission technology, as well as the emergence of “wireless cities,” have continuously expanded the coverage of wireless internet such as 5G and WiFi and greatly changed data processing methods and transmission speeds. Video surveillance has also gradually developed from traditional wired networking to mobile video surveillance of wireless networks. Therefore, this paper will focus on the design of the home video monitoring system based on the IoT location service. The system combines traditional network video surveillance with intelligent mobile terminals, which can meet the needs of users for video surveillance of home conditions at any location and at any time. And it compared the sensitivity, accuracy, capture time interval, and energy consumption of the two by comparing with traditional internet video surveillance.
