PROBLEM STATEMENT

Security for doors that have to be opened

Security for doors and windows that can be broken

Communication

5

ASSUMPTIONS

Basic knowledge of electronic components

Intermediate knowledge of C++(or strong research ablilities)

Home to secure

6

THE FIX

Need break sensor for door

Motion sensor for bedrooms and living room

Communication ability

Microcontroller with capabilities for all attributes

Software to run microcontroller

7

THE FIX

8

THE FIX Parallax PIR motion sensors

Don’t get off brand

Magnetic sensor Junk

Twitter feed used for communication. Thingspeak

RESULTS All sections of apartment secure

Twitter feed works instantly

Motion sensors work as a backup

CONCLUSIONS

Ability to notify instantly

Surprise of alarm

Easy to install

11

CONCLUSIONS

Planning is a must

Designing and implementation take a lot of time

Test one element at a time

FUTURE WORK

Would work for any apartment/home

Endless extensions

Easy to hide
