IOT Enabled Security System for Android users

Staying connected 24 X 7 with our near and dear ones and providing them with continuous added security services, especially when women and children step out of their houses to meet their daily needs, is one of the major challenges faced in today's society. In this project we aim to propose the design of an Internet of Things - based safety device using the Raspberry Pi 3 microcontroller, along with a pair of Android applications that would assist the primary user in notifying the required faculty instantaneously during any sort of emergency condition. Not only would this help the guardian to track the current location of the primary user i.e. their ward on receiving an emergency notification with the timestamp or allow the primary user to forward emergency calls to the nearest located emergency service provider, like ambulance, police, car workshops, cab services, which is mapped by the application of a clustering algorithm but also helps in capturing the allied emergency data like images or voice clips, storing the links to those in the Firebase cloud and then streaming it live over the Android application, once the guardian tries to read the notification forwarded to him/her by the primary user. These real time data being constantly stored in the Firebase storage, acts as a concrete source of reliable information, that can be of great help to the users in future for any sort of criminal or other investigations. Also the proposed system has been so designed that both the Android application and the IOT-based safety device can work independently of each other, with each one connected to the same or different Wifi networks, as per the availability, in order to minimize the chances of failure of this safety package when applied to real life scenario's.
