Helping with homework

So is this junior shool project or maybe a Masters degree, it could help to suggest a level at which to pitch.

How about an intelligent home intruder alarm/monitor; capable of using the PIRs to better effect - turns lights on for you at night if you get out of bed for a drink (following a known path from the bedroom) but still alarms if any activity is seen elsewhere.
The amount of scope here is scary--- simulating home occupancy whist you are on holiday (closing curtains, switching lights on etc.) --- recording time and date of any alarms for possible future police assistance, etc, etc.

hello everyone.
im a new person here. Well the kind of projects which I like is automation of radio controlled cars. If u are interested in computer interfacing then I think it will be a good project for you. You can create a software using java or any language you like and use the Lpt port to control the operation of a radio controlled car.
