Smart Security Box using Arduino and GSM Module

Abstract

Security is considered as one of the key issues of the home automation systems because it warrants the convenience and wellbeing to the residents. This paper presents a smart security box that sends messages to the authorized user if an unauthorized user attempts to breach the security of the smart box. The smart security box is fully automated and works without human interaction. This smart device would be used as an advanced technology for the safeguard of people's valuable assets. Along with the advanced security features, affordability and usability are two other main characteristics of this smart security box. This smart security box is primarily developed using an open-source electronics platform named Arduino and Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communications module with Short Message Service (SMS). Based on the empirical evidence it is found that this low cost, low power consumed smart security box is robust and accurate in terms of sensing and sending security breaches notifications to the legal users. This potential smart security box can be used for the personal as well as commercial purpose and is able to penetrate the local and international market of smart security technology quite comprehensively.
