Home Surveillance and Alert System using Raspberry Pi Zero W and GSM Modem with MQTT Protocol

Abstract

Today’s modern era has made it essential for everyone, even for the privacy of their homes, to have controllable, affordable, and easy-to-use security systems. The creation of a cost-effective, straightforward, and feature-rich home security alarm system using a Raspberry Pi Zero W microprocessor and MQTT protocol is discussed in this paper. The proposed system is primarily intended for outlying areas with limited or insufficient network bandwidths. Together with sensors such a PIR (passive infrared sensor), sound sensor, gas leakage sensor, obstacle/proximity sensor (vibration sensor), fire/flame sensor, GSM module, and a surveillance pi camera, it makes use of a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a microprocessor. [1]. In addition, the system will promptly alert the homeowner through phone calls, SMS, or mail anytime it senses the presence of an intruder or other safety hazards. Hence, anyone who wants to make their space (bank, home, workplace, jewelry shops, and cabins) safe and to protect themselves from theft and infiltration can use this system at a fair price.
