Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to propose an indoor intrusion detection method for residential areas utilizing Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) integrated with artificial intelligence and an adaptive decision threshold; 2) to investigate the model's robustness in cross-environment operations; 3) to determine the optimal installation position to minimize false alarms triggered by pets. This experimental study employed an ESP32 to collect CSI data and utilized an LSTM Autoencoder model, which excels in time-series data analysis. Its unsupervised learning capability significantly reduces the burden of data labeling. Performance was evaluated using Precision, Recall, F1-score, and AUC.

The results revealed that: 1) the proposed method outperformed the baseline models, achieving an F1-score of 0.970 and an AUC of 0.995 in the original environment; 2) the proposed method demonstrated high flexibility and robustness when operating across environments, achieving F1-scores of 0.933 in the living room and 0.923 in the bedroom, respectively; and 3) false alarms from pets were reduced to 2.41% at an installation height of 1.2 meters. These findings indicate the efficacy of the proposed method, highlighting its practical applicability as a reliable residential security system.
