 I. Introduction

Security is so much important to all people to avoid bad situation to happen just like
robbery and homicide. When we have our physiological needs for food and water met, our safety
needs to dominate our behavior. These needs have to do with our normal desire for a predictable,
orderly world that is somewhat within our control. (Maslow, 1943) Therefore, security and safety
are necessary in daily living, to live away from danger. As it is define by Merriam, it is the
quality or state of being secure: such as freedom from danger.

Security is alarming every individual to safe guard their belongings and properties.
Reducing the risk of accident or protecting against deliberate attack in our social environment is
a function of the degree of safety. The theft chances are increasing with the advancement of
technology. Security persons are also unable to curtail the theft chances due to human mistakes.
An electronic eye can curtail the theft attempt by triggering the buzzer automatically and also
sending the message quickly to the concerned persons to make them alert. The communication
part can be achieved with the support of Arduino. The automation of the security monitoring
system using electronics assembly is enabling to develop a mechanism to reduce the theft
chances at any desired points.

Robbery has become common in the Philippines and it is increasing day by day. To
counter it, high resolution security cameras are available for commercial purpose. These systems
are powered entire time and they record the movements of the person throughout the day. A
camera based security system requires the presence of a human or a security personnel at all
time. This system is really effective only when someone is monitoring the image captured by the
camera.

Security system has been concern of worldwide not only in the Philippines. As technology is
emerging every second, abundant home based or office based or industries based security
systems have been developed and implemented to keep welfare security safe. Home security
system is an essential mean of protecting homes from illegal invasion and false intrusion. A
general home security system consists of CCTV, Web cameras, Buzzer alarm. Web camera or
CCTV capture image in 24 hours to identify what goes around the house and in the house around
the door which holds evidences if there is false intrusion in house breaking around the door of
captured areas. The power consumption is also considerably large as camera is always on to keep
recording nonstop and for capturing images. The power consumption is considered as concern of
installing a security system. Using a preferred safety and security measures or technique depends
on the absolute environment of application.
 II. Literature Review

Electronic eye controlled security system is also called magic eye. As the automation is
emerging technology these days, just imagine a door bell that automatically rings when a person
visit you home. This also provides security when any person is trying to enter into your home
without your permission. Electronic eye controlled security system is the electronic device that
continuously watches if anyone is visiting your home. (Jazanu, 2013)

Electronic eye describes the design and implementation of Door image capture using
Microcontroller based security system for home and offices. It provides the user with efficient
and reliable security system for Door image capture for home, offices and industries that
supports the use of an sensor at the door to send the signals to control unit of electronic eye with
buzzer alarm for security purpose with image capture as soon as the door opens with image
capture at the output of laptop or PC with VB application. (Ali, 2014)

An Electronic eye is designed to provide the security system for home and offices. It is a
simple, not-so-expensive, easy to use and reliable security system for room locker in homes,
offices that supports the use of a sensor and an Arduino is used to send the signals to control unit
of electronic eye. The buzzer alarm is needed for on-the-spot security purposes. (Juneja, 2017)

An electronic eye may substantially ameliorate the safety mechanism of the living house.
Incidents of breach of security in the absence of the house owners are increasing day-by-day. In
addition to the traditional security systems, there is now dire need of state-of-the-art
communication module with a micro controller enabled system to send commands and receive
alerts. (Mittal, 2016)

In the scope of industrialization, home automation is a step beyond mechanization. For

machineries mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the
muscular requirements of work, where automation greatly reduces the need for human sensory
and mental requirements as well. Automation in security system plays an increasingly important
role in the world economy. Automatic security systems are being preferred over manual system.

IV. Blueprint
 V. Significance of Project

Electronic Eye is beneficial and inclined to physics since it is a device that uses
electricity/ source of energy (dry cell). Electronics is coined from the word “electron” and if
there’s a movement of electron, electricity will occur. Electricity is one of the biggest
contributions in Physics. Most of the experiments and discoveries use electricity to conduct the
inventions.

Electronic eye has a huge benefit to the advancement of technology since the electronic
security systems are broadly utilized within corporate work places, commercial places and etc.
The systems have profoundly welcomed, since it might be worked from a remote zone. And
these systems are also utilized as access control systems, fire recognition and avoidance systems
and attendance record system. As we are know that crime rates are increasing day by day so most
of the people are usually not feeling comfort until they provide a sure for their security either it
may be at office or home. So we should choose a better electronic system for securing purposes.

It is also beneficial to the community to reduce robbery cases, and to protect the people
inside the community. This project is really necessary due to reports of worst cases of robbery. It
will really help the people to sleep soundly and live peacefully.
