Smart Security System for Businesses using Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

There is a sudden exponential use of security systems in our day to day life. For example, security in a business space, organisation, or bank locker is important to every individual now. Lately, security cameras are being utilized in order to build safe and secure places in organisations. However, this technology needs a person regularly to detect any problem in the frame taken from the camera. The main aim of this paper is to enhance the traditional security system. The security system based on the IoT platform has the potential of interacting real-time with the device. The system consists of a camera, voice sensor/microphone, motion/activity sensor and an LTE/Wi-Fi module which is interfaced with the heart of the system, processor. This entire economic system using IoT in real-time will allow mobile devices and computers to remotely track the activities occurring at the location where the IoT device is placed and records all the activities, which will be saved on one’s cloud storage account. The IoT based security system helps in added protection of the user/customer property. Security systems are designed to perform certain tasks when a secured zone is breached. In this paper, notification is sent to the concerned person as an alert where the user can take necessary actions. The main advantage of this system is the ability to remotely manage one’s property 24/7. With this IoT based smart locker, one can monitor, get alerts, notify in case of emergency from anywhere in the world using mobile application via cloud connectivity 24/7. To be specific, we aim to design a light-weight, low cost, extensible, flexible wireless smart security system using IoT which employs the integration of various latest technologies. The combination of the various technologies can be used synergistically as a smart security to control a system in a house/organisation (lock or unlock a system with the help of SMS/app) from remote locations. The complete system is designed considering all types of door locks and lockers by providing a simple, effective ease of installation, to provide homes/organisations extreme security and our system will be a means for preventing, detecting and counter-measuring robbery or burglary.
