DESIGN OF AN ANTI THEFT SYSTEM

Abstract

Burglary has become one of the most increasing incidents in our society. From the invention of the first lock and key to the introduction of RFID tags and biometric identification, anti-theft systems have evolved to match the introduction of new inventions and the resulting theft by others. The anti-theft system is designed to detect intruders or burglars and informing the owners or security personnel via SMS and alarm. Though it is not going to make it very difficult for theft or burglary but it will in case deter it from happening. This can be used or implemented in homes, offices, shopping malls, industries and institutions. The aim of this project is to design a device that will serve as a system to alert the owners and security in charge of the vicinity. This will be done using an Arduino controller to control the various activity of the device with the aid of a camera to show the intruder who entered, also an SMS being sent to the owner or security personnel via a gsm module and a buzzer at the end of the security point or office to alert them.
