Home Security and Anti-Theft System

Abstract

We are leveraging the Internet of Things to build a cheap home security system since home security is a really useful application of technology. In this modern age, security has grown to be a serious worry. For security threats everywhere, automated security systems are a cost-effective answer. A home security system works to safeguard your home and the people inside it against fire, burglary, and other hazards like burst pipes, gas leakages, etc. The goal of this project is to create an Wireless home security system that is smart and IoT-based that can raise an alarm or send a notification to the owner through the Internet if there is a intrusion, leakage of gas, or fire. The user can access the door with a unique key, a password, and biometrics. If someone tries to break into the house through the doors or windows, the system will notify the owner by notifying the user with a notification. The system alerts the user if there is a gas leakage or fire break out and allows the user to control the lights and other smart devices. A microcontroller will be used by the security system to interface between its components, a gas leakage sensor(MQ2), a smoke detecting sensor, a fingerprint scanner or any other biometric sensors, a buzzer, a Reed Sensor, keypad, LCD screen, a video doorbell, smart lights and devices and a Wi-Fi module for connecting and communicating online or via an app. The user can remotely control the doors, security cameras, lights and other smart devices. Data theft and privacy theft can be avoided by proper authentication, identification and encryption of devices.
