In this paper, an efficient wireless monitoring system using Radio Frequency Identity (RFID) is proposed. The aim of this system is to detect a specified target during his movement in the covered region. The efficiency of the proposed system is clearly noticed through both storage capacity and power consuming reduction. This is done by dominating the work of camerasoperation when receiving a signal from the distributed detectors. The obtained results show the saving in power and storage capacity is more efficient in comparison with the traditional monitoring systems. This work has two implemented sides; hardware and simulated environment that using Microsoft visual studio (C# framework). Keywords wireless monitoring system, RFID, power consuming, storage capacity.
