An Approach to Smart Home Security System Using Ardunio

Abstract

Recent advancements in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) have turned this area in one of the most promising research topics to bring innovative and useful technologies in the future. Solutions for a low-cost and efficient Home Automation model have always been a widely addressed problem; This study focuses on the architecture and design of wireless, flexible and inexpensive smart home system. Using Mega 2560 Arduino Board Platform, we develop an intelligent system able to send real-time video and GSM-based information of a break-in, fire and motion detection, along with an advanced temperature and humidity monitoring system. A prototype is designed, and tested on China Mobile Network, in 20 samples the prototype shows a 9.4s average time of response.
