Design and Implementation of Security for Smart Home based on GSM
technology was discussed by Govinda et al. (2014) that provides two methods
to implement home security using IoT [1]. One is using web cameras such that
whenever there is any motion detected by the camera, it sounds an alarm and
sends a mail to the owner. This method of detecting intrusion is quite good,
albeit somewhat expensive due to the cost of the cameras involved in the
process. The cameras need to be of good quality which means it should have a
wide range and the picture quality should be high enough to detect movement.
Also if you go for movable cameras such as dome cameras they will cost even
more than thefixed ones.
SMS based system using GSM was proposed by Karri and Daniel (2005)
propose to use internet services to send messages or alert to the house owner
instead of the conventional SMS.[2] Jayashri and Arvind (2013) have
implemented a fingerprint based authentication system to unlock a door [3].
This system helps users by only allowing the users whose fingerprint are
authorized by the owner of the house. This system can also be used to monitor
who all have used the sensor to gained entry into the house. The system is
coupled with a few more home protection features such as gas leakage and fire
accidents. Although a good system, fingerprint sensors are expensive and
complex (as they need increased sensor resolution) to integrate into an IoT
setup. Some experts also argue that only relying on a fingerprint sensor is not](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/homesecuritysystemusinginternetofthings-180623142019/85/Home-security-system-using-internet-of-things-2-320.jpg)

which is why it is always advised to use fingerprint scanners in a two factor
authentication systems where an additional layer of security is available in the
form of PIN, passcode, voice recognition, etc.
Some researchers proposed an idea of robust IoT home security system where a
fault in of
one component in the system does not lead to the failure of the whole system
[4]. The idea of using multiple devices which may or may not be directly
compatible with each other but can be made to work in such a way that they
can replace an existing component of the system incase of a fault. In tandem to
this, the model has the ability to use overlap between various devices which
would result in preserving energy thus making the model more efficient. An
example provided of the said model would use temperature sensor, WiFi
module and a door sensor to replace a faulty camera. The authors are successful
in an effort to demonstrate the given example. However such systems are useful
for people with energy efficiency in mind and for those who need a high degree
of robustness with their security systems and are willing to expend more money
than usual.
Laser rays and LDR sensor are used to to detect intrusion using their movement
was proposed in 2016 [5]. The way the system works is that a laser is focused
towards a LDR sensor and the moment that the contact of laser to LDR sensor
breaks, the alarm connected to the sensor goes off alerting the neighbours and
sends a SMS to the owner. This system solves the problem of covering the
places which are out of range from the fixed cameras but faces the same
difficulties which are faced with systems consisting of GSM modules to send
text messages, which is that the delivery of message is dependent on network
coverage. Also due to the nature of lasers being a straight beam, it can be](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/homesecuritysystemusinginternetofthings-180623142019/85/Home-security-system-using-internet-of-things-3-320.jpg)

[6]. The authors claim that this as an original idea which have not been tried
before and is the first of its kind “optical Morse code-based electronic
locking system”. This system uses LED‟s (Light emitting diodes) as an
encrypting medium to send signals. To make it more accessible to general
public, the LED in smart phones has been used. On the receiver‟s side is
a photosensitive resistor as well as a microcontroller such as arduino processor
which has the ability to decrypt the optical signal after receiving them from the
LED. Upon decoding the signal it can than upload the current condition of the
lock to a cloud from where the owner can monitor the system. The authors have
experimented the system in real time and it has proved to work under different
illumination environments with all the functions working as they were intended
to. The authors also claim to have an easy and user-friendly interface. The IoT
system developed here works very well and can be used by anyone and is very
convenient due to the use of mobile phones as LED, which also makes it a cost
expensive alternative[7]. Anitha et al (2016) proposed an home automation
system using artificial intelligence and also proposed a model for cyber security
systems [8,9].](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/homesecuritysystemusinginternetofthings-180623142019/85/Home-security-system-using-internet-of-things-4-320.jpg)
Home security system using internet of things
- 1. Home security system using internet of things Anitha A School of Information Technology and Engineering, VIT University, Vellore- 632014, Tamil Nadu, India. E-mail: aanitha@vit.ac.in Abstract IoT refers to the infrastructure of connected physical devices which is growing at a rapid rate as huge number of devices and objects are getting associated to the Internet. Home security is a very useful application of IoT and we are using it to create an inexpensive security system for homes as well as industrial use. The system will inform the owner about any unauthorized entry or whenever the door is opened by sending a notification to the user. After the user gets the notification, he can take the necessary actions. The security system will use a microcontroller known as Arduino Uno to interface between the components, a magnetic Reed sensor to monitor the status, a buzzer for sounding the alarm, and a WiFi module, ESP8266 to connect and communicate using the Internet. The main advantages of such a system includes the ease of setting up, lower costs and low maintenance.
