Abstract :
The rate of robbery is increasing and there is
need to work towards securing people’s properties
against losses. In the past, windows and doors where
closed when leaving the home to prevent loss of property.
However, the availability of technology has made the old-
fashioned security techniques no longer reliable. In this
research, the idea of designing a secure mobile and GSM
notification system for normal households has been
proposed. The proposed system is designed using an
affordable and effective home security system using the
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)
network with Short Message Service (SMS). The main
aim of the system is to help in informing the home owner
of the current security status of the house using short
messaging technology and email. With this security
homes are kept safe from being a convenient target for
intruders. We designed a block and circuit diagram to
help the experimentation of the system. The system was
built in C programming language using both hardware
and software tools. The code was written in Arduino
software and then uploaded to the hardware, the Arduino
Mega 2560 microcontroller. Testing was done and the
response of the system was fine sending both SMS and
Email when connected to internet.
