Real-Time Monitoring Security System integrated with Raspberry Pi and e-mail communication link

Abstract

Now-a-days, crime rates are increasing at an alarming rate due to theft cases. It is equally important to catch the thief to prevent theft. Most of the time, thief escapes due to delay in action taken by concerned authorities at that time. In this paper, we present the design of a security system which solves this problem. The proposed system is for Smart Door lock technique with Raspberry Pi using IoT and is done by integrating webcam and motion sensor with e-mail. Raspberry Pi operates and controls motion sensor and webcam for sensing and surveillance. For instance, whenever any motion is detected, the webcam streaming starts and Raspberry Pi device alerts the owner through an e-mail on his registered mail-id. Whenever it is a wrong or random PIN entered, webcam captures the intruder’s image and sends it over e-mail for real-time action to be taken by the owner to prevent theft.
