Locker Security System using Internet of Things

Abstract

As a priority in today's society, security is of highest importance, and safeguarding our properties from intruders is no small task. The main objective of the offenders is to obtain valuable items kept in the locker. To address this issue, an Android application called Locker Security System uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor the locker's condition and enhance security. The project is based on ESP32 micro controller installed along with PIR sensor is implemented in the locker to detect the movement and magnetic switches to know whether the door is locked or unlocked, When the intruder opens the locker by force it detects the status of locker door using magnetic switch sensor and the motion of his hand inside the locker using PIR sensor, the data is uploaded to the firebase linked with the mobile app. If a burglary is detected it sends an alert notification message to the mobile immediately using twilio cloud and the buzzer is also rung in the mobile application. The PIR sensor can detect the motion accurately up to 6 metres .The further advancements would include equipping the locker with a camera. The locker would be equipped with a camera so that, in the event of an intrusion, it would record the intruder's image and send it to the user via the mobile application. The police can be informed about the burglary using the mobile application along with an image sent of the burglary.
