Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) theft detection and location tracking using GSM & GPS module

Abstract

The crime rate in Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) theft is rising highly. IoT-Internet of Things which is a technology paradigm helps to internetwork the physical devices to global internet world. IoT helps the objects (things) to collect/transmit/exchange data and actuate action according to the data threshold. The objective of designing ATM Theft detection/Location Identification is to detect the ATM from robbery and share the location of robbery to the nearby registered cop station. The Embedded development board Arduino helps us to monitor the status of the cash box. The cash box movement is detected using vibration sensor. If the vibration range is greater than the 15000 Hz, then a buzzer alert is created and the prototype actuates the DC motor, which then automatically closes the ATM door and communicates the location information -longitude and latitude to the nearby cop station using GSM & GPS module. The system performs four different security actions according to the threshold value of the vibration sensor, i.e., alert using buzzer, closing the ATM door, SMS alert to the registered mobile number and sharing the location of the robbery.
