Design, Development and Performance Study of a Microcontroller-Based Home Security System Using Mobile Phone

Abstract

Security has been an important issue in the smart phone applications. Here, a security system has been developed that uses a sensor to detect a security violation and informs the owner by calling to his mobile. The system consists of a sensor, microcontroller IC, some relays and a mobile phone that operates when the sensor sense some unwanted breaking of doors, lockers etc. As soon as this occurs the system automatically calls the owner through the mobile phone used in the security system. The system has been designed and developed using locally available components and its performance has been studied. A program has been developed using Flow Code software to drive the system.
