IOT based automated home security system for elderly people using old mobile phone

Abstract

This paper aims to provide the complete home security system for elderly people who are forced
to live in this modern era. The inkling behind this work is to provide its user a simple, cheap, fast
and reliable way of getting help during their emergency conditions. To create an inexpensive
security system for home the Internet On Things(IOT) concept is applied. The security system
consists of Arduino Uno microcontroller to interface between sensors to monitor the status, a
buzzer for alarming, a Wi-Fi module ESP8266 and associated components to connect and
communicate using the Internet. The system also consists of old mobile phone converted into
web camera for recording the movement of unknown persons and to send the picture and video
of them to the house owner and police person. The main advantage of this system is a provision
of complete security system for the users at low cost and low maintenance.
