Design And Construction Of An Internet Of A Thing Based Burglar Detection System

 ABSTRACT

This work describes how to implement an IOT notification system. A notification is a way we can send alarms or other kinds of information to users but in this work we are implementing home security system. IoT refers to the infrastructure of connected physical devices which is growing at a rapid rate as huge number of devices and objects are getting associated to the Internet. Home security is a very useful application of IoT and we are using it to create an inexpensive security system for homes as well as industrial use. The system will inform the owner about any unauthorized entry or whenever the door is opened by sending a notification to the user. After the user gets the notification, he can take the necessary actions. The security system will use a microcontroller known as Arduino Uno to interface between the components, a magnetic Reed sensor to monitor the status, a buzzer for sounding the alarm, and a WiFi module, ESP8266 to connect and communicate using the Internet.

1.1                                                        INTRODUCTION

IoT or Internet Things refers to the network of connected physical objects that can communicate and exchange data among themselves without the need of any human intervention. It has been formally defined as an “Infrastructure of Information Society”, because IoT allows us to collect information from all kind of mediums such as humans, animals, vehicles, kitchen appliances. Thus any object in the physical world which can be provided with an IP address to enable data transmission over a network can be made part of IoT system by embedding them with electronic hardware such as sensors, software and networking gear. IoT is different than Internet as in a way it transcends Internet connectivity by enabling everyday objects that uses embedded circuits to interact and communicate with each other utilizing the current Internet infrastructure.

The term IoT and its conception can be traced back to 1985 when Peter T Lewis spoke about the concept during his speech at Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Since then the scope of IoT has grown tremendously as currently it consists of more than 12 billion connected devices and according to the experts it will increase to 50 billion by the end of 2020. The IoT infrastructure has helped by providing real time information gathering and analysis using accurate sensors and seamless connectivity, which help in making efficient decisions. With the advent of IoT both manufacturers and consumers have benefited. Manufacturers have gained insight into how their products are used and how they perform out in the real world and increase their revenues by providing value added services which enhances and elongates the lifecycle of their products or services. Consumers on the other hand have the ability to integrate and control more than one devices for a more customized and improved user experience.

An important factor to consider when we talk about home automation is Security. Home security is a very important feature of home automation and maybe the most crucial one. Home security made drastic changes in the past few decades and continue to advance much more in the coming years. Previously home security systems meant having an alarm that would go off when somebody would break in but a smart secure home can do much more than that. Therefore the main objective of our work is to design a system which can alert the owner and others of an intruder break-in by sending a notification to their smart phones. The owner will also have the ability to stop or start the alarm remotely using just his smart phone. This system will help the users to safeguard their homes by placing the system on the doors or windows and monitoring the activity through their smart phones.

There has been an unprecedented growth in the number of devices being connected to the Internet since past few years. All these devices connected to the internet are part of the IoT infrastructure which can that allows these devices to send and receive data among each other. This is why it is beneficial to use such an existing infrastructure for designing the proposed security system. An alarm system that sounds the buzzer is of no use when a user is not present in the home to take action. When the owner is away communicate with each other. The IoT network consists of embedded electronics, sensors and software from their home, they want to be assured that their home is protected by intruders and thieves while they are gone. This is why the proposed system keeps the owner informed in the real time about the security status of their home. The designed system informs the user as there is a break-in so that the user can take necessary actions.

1.1                                                   AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim is to send a notification to several devices, such as Android, iOS, or a desktop PC. In this work home security alert is sent using arduino microcontroller.

1.2                                             OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

At the end of this work, students involved shall be able to interface arduino with either android application of destop computer.

1.3                                          ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT

The main advantages of such a system include the ease of setting up, lower costs and low maintenance.

1.4                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

1. Constant Protection: If you install a notification device in your home, you and your family have round-the-clock the protection against break-ins. Some systems also have fire alarms built in, which provides additional reassurance. The constant protection of a notification device is particularly comforting when you may be away from your home for an extended period or you must leave your children home alone for an evening. It also means that your home is protected while you are sleeping so you can have peace of mind about your family’s safety and get a good night’s sleep.
2. Deterrent to Criminals: Most home notification device provide small lawn signs or placards for your window that indicate that your home is protected by a security company. In many cases, the presence of this type of sign alone may persuade burglars and other criminals to pass over your home and move on to a dwelling that is not protected by a security system. Be sure to clearly display the decals and signs from your monitoring company to fully advertise your home’s security.

• Lower Insurance Rates: While there is a significant cost to install a notification device, it can mean a financial advantage as well. Your insurance company may actually adjust the rate on your homeowners insurance policy if you have a system installed in your home. Because your home is protected from theft – and in many cases, fire – costly incidences that might require you to make a claim are less likely to occur in your home. As a result, your insurance company can lower your rate.

1. This system is fully automated. So once this system is installed inside home or industry, then it does not require any human interaction to operate.
   With the use of this system we can save the life of person inside home / industry.
2. This system is Cost effective. Also it is Fast and efficient

1.6                                         APPLICATIONS OF THE PROJECT

1) This project has its main application in security system. It will be really useful for the security of flat, bungalow or any row house. It can be used in our house for theft detection at night time.

4) This project can be used in hospitals. We need to do little bit modifications for use in hospital. We can add oxygen gas sensor to detect the leakage in oxygen gas cylinders, as it can also cause fire. The password operated locking section can be used in hospitals for those rooms which have limited access like rooms with chemical or x-ray machine units. So only authorized person can gain access to this areas/rooms/sections.
