ABSTRACT

The development of technology in the field of Electronics has

brought drastic changes in everyday life. The technology has
made tremendous advances in variety of domain fields like
medicine, telecommunication, automation and security. This
paper demonstrates the working of a low cost, low power
consumption wireless security system. We have proposed an
intelligent security system that uses ultrasonic sensor for theft
detection and sends signal (Text Message) to indicate the theft
using NodeMCU wireless communication technology. This paper
proposes the overall framework of hardware and software design
and methodology to implement the system

INTRODUCTION
With the emergence of new technology, security can be provided
in a smarter way. This paper proposes Home security system and
introduces many technologies for making the system installation
easy and secure. Most of the system makes use of mobile
communication like GSM and Wi-Fi for security systems. The
Central Processing Unit for the proposed system is developed
using the Arduino microcontroller which is a low cost and
efficient controller used in many applications.
The system consists of ultrasonic sensor and NodeMCU which is
connected to the microcontroller. The Fig - 1 describes the system
with the help of block diagram.
The wireless communication system used in this system is
NodeMCU, which sends notification to the owner.
The system also uses microcontroller board such as Arduino
along with the combination of NodeMCU and ultrasonic sensor
to provide a complete security system.

and a reset button.

The Arduino board is programmed using the Arduino IDE

software.

Ultrasonic sensor
Ultrasonic sensor also known as transceivers as they send and
receive signals.
NODE MCU
NodeMCU is an open-source firmware and development kit that helps you
to prototype or build IoT product. It includes firmware which runs on the
ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems, and hardware which is based
on the ESP-12 module.

Power supply:
Used a cheap power supply which can output 5 volts as well as
3.3 volts. I bought it online from china. 5 volts side of power
supply is supplying power to hcsr04 and 3.3 volt side is used to
power nodemcu. Note the grounds of 3.3v and 5v are made
common

ARDUINO UNO

Arduino [6] is a tool for making computers that can sense and
control more of the physical world than your desktop computer.
It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a
simple microcontroller board and a development environment for
writing software for the board. The Fig - 3 shows the Arduino
board.
The Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects
considering inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and
controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
The Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can
communicate with software running on your computer (e.g.
Flash, Processing, and MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by
hand or purchased preassembled. Arduino simplifies the process

of working with microcontrollers and also it offers some
advantage to variety of users over other systems:

ULTRASONIC SENSOR

Ultrasonic sensors [9] (also known as transceivers as they send

and receive signals, but more generally called transducers) work
on the similar principle toradar or sonar, which evaluate
attributes of a target by interpreting the echoes from radio or
sound waves respectively. The active ultrasonic sensorsgenerate
high frequency sound waves and evaluate the echo which is
received back by the sensor, measuring the time interval between
sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the
distance to an object. When there is a sensation, message is being
sent to the mobile phone of the owner. The Fig - 4 shows the
Ultrasonic Sensor.

REFERENCE
We mainly used internet for referring more over internet we done
various projects using Arduino which make us capable for
designing our own prototype. We have the basic knowledge about
C programming language and studied about the libraries of
Arduino from GitHub.com. As we do various projects we
understand how to interface the components using knowledge we
build a prototype within a time duration of 2 months.
