Project Home Security is a hardware and software combination project that detects the\u00a0presence of an intruder outside the front door of a house and immediately sends an email alerting the user about the activity with a picture of the person standing outside.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This project uses an ultrasonic sensor, wires, Arduino, raspberry pi, ethernet cable and an interface for Pi\/Arduino for initial setup. The ultrasonic sensor may be replaced by a body motion sensor (for shorter range setup), which actually was used for this project initially. However, as the connecting wires get longer- the body motion sensor starts acting in unanticipated ways.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Arduino board establishes a connection with the ultrasonic sensor. As the distance read by the sensor gets below a certain threshold, it prints a message which is then received by the raspberry pi connected to the Arduino via a\u00a0USB serial port.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the raspberry receives the message, an SSMTP messaging protocol relays that message to an email address. The user can add that email account to their existing Gmail app and receive notifications about the front door activity in real time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some pictures that were taken during the development stage of the product:<\/p>\n
