HOME MONITORING USING GSM USING SENSOR

BASED SYSTEM

AIM: To design and construct a GPRS based Distributed Home monitoring using internet based
Geographical Information system.

PURPOSE:
This system is used for detecting intruders, the system allows a home owner to remotely
monitor various critical home sensors status including those tied to fire, flooding, and gas leaks.
Home owners can monitor their homes via their mobile phone or by using the Internet. This
system can also be utilized by security firms, civil defense organizations and municipalities to
continuously monitor and locate troublesome spots in residential neighborhoods and compounds.
The proposed system will have the following requirements:
A. Functional Requirements:
1. Monitor the house/apartment through detectors; fire detector, smoke detector and motion
detector.
2. Alert home owner through SMS when an accident/abnormal behavior occurs.
3. In addition to the Internet, home owners shall be able to check the status of the houses by
sending an SMS to the modem, the modem shall reply by indicating the status of the house.
B. Non-functional requirements:
1. Reliability of the system; the system should be highly reliable during the time of its
functionality.
2. High accuracy of the system; the system should provide an accurate status.
3. Availability and accessibility: The system shall be able to function on a 24/7 basis.
4. The system shall take a maximum of two hours to be installed.
5. The system shall not take more than one minute to respond to the changes in surroundings.
6. The system should only accept valid SMS messages from registered modems.
7. Scalable: the system should be able to accept at least 200 houses/apartments which a standard
number for a tower building.
8. Expandable: the system should allow the integration of different sensors depending on the
needs of the user without changing the architecture.
9. User friendly: messages to home owners or authorized users should be in plain language. The
web interface shall not take more than ten minutes to learn.
10. Low power consumption: during the operation of modems at home, the modem should only
be in high power modem when a valid trigger is received otherwise it is in the sleeping mode.

DESCRIPTION:
Here in this proposed system, we use the modern technology to maintain the security of
our home. We employ various sensors such as smoke sensor, fire sensor and motion sensor.
These sensors are used to intimate the house owner about any hazards which can be caused.
Consequently, the owner can take precautionary measures. The smoke sensor senses any gas
leakage and triggers an alarm or sends an SMS through the GSM module. Similar is the case
with the fire sensor, which will detect any fire accidents. The motion sensor will intimate the
owner if there is any burglary that is about to occur in the house by sensing the movements, if
any, caused by any external agent. We use the GSM module so as to intimate the owner of the
hazards through SMS, if the owner is not in the vicinity of the house.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS:

Microcontroller
Ethernet
GSM
GPRS
Sensors : smoke detector, fire detector, motion detector
ADC 0808

SOFTWARE COMPONENTS:

flash magic

Embedded C

Express PCB

RESULT:
Thus, we can implement a cost-effective system using sensors and GSM module to ensure the
safety of a house.
