Background of the Study
Universities face increasing challenges in ensuring the safety, security, and efficient management of their campus facilities. Traditional monitoring systems, such as CCTV cameras and manual checks, often fail to provide real-time data or comprehensive coverage, leaving universities vulnerable to security breaches and operational inefficiencies (Thomas & Zhang, 2024). The Internet of Things (IoT) offers an innovative solution, enabling smart campus monitoring systems that provide real-time data through interconnected devices, sensors, and cameras (Patel & Smith, 2025).
At Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, implementing an IoT-based campus monitoring system could enhance security, improve resource management, and provide a more efficient way of managing campus facilities. IoT devices can monitor everything from student movement on campus to the status of university infrastructure, providing actionable data that can be used for decision-making (Martinez et al., 2023). This study aims to explore the design and implementation of a smart campus monitoring system using IoT, focusing on improving security, efficiency, and student experience at Usmanu Danfodiyo University.
Statement of the Problem
Usmanu Danfodiyo University faces challenges related to campus security, resource management, and operational inefficiencies. Traditional monitoring methods are not sufficient for ensuring the safety of students and staff, and there is a lack of real-time data to guide decision-making in campus management (Olson & Lee, 2023). This study proposes the implementation of an IoT-based smart campus monitoring system that can address these challenges and improve overall campus management.
