Abstract- In this project, we have
successfully developed an IOT based
anti-theft security system with G-mail and
Telegram alert that can detect unauthorized
entry and alert the owner in real-time. With
this system, users can keep their property
safe from theft or other forms of damage.
The system is equipped with sensors that
monitor the premises for any suspicious
activity and sends alerts to the user
immediately through G-mail or Telegram.
This security system has been designed to be
cost-effective, secure and easy to use
1. Introduction
[1.1] Rapid advancement in the field of
technology, plays an important role in a
wide range of criminal activities. It opens
more opportunities for crime and draws
people into committing crime leading to
an unpreceded growth in the crime rate.
This system helps us to protect our home,
offices, banks, lockers from intrusion and
unauthorized access. There are many
types of security systems that are
currently used by most people like
CCTV but these security systems are
visible to naked eyes that will alert the
intruder, to avoid this we are proposing a
project on Laser based security systems.
This security system helps us to prevent
incidents like robbery, stealing and this
system can be implemented both indoor
and outdoor. If the intruder is detected
ESP32 CAM starts capturing the image
and it gives a notification alert with an
image of the intruder to a Wi-Fi
connected device.
[1.2] Security is the most important
factor in this digital world. With the
advancement of technology, the criminals
are trying to find new ways to perform
the criminal activities. The technology
advancement has led the world to another
level, so crime has also become more
tech-oriented. In order to overcome this
problem, we are proposing a laser based
security system and the intruder is
unaware of the fact that a security system
is installed in the entry positions like
doors or windows. Laser based security
system acts as an additional security
layer which includes ESP32 CAM, LDR
Module, Laser Module, etc.
[1.3] Keeping everyone’s security in
mind. Laser based security system is
proposed which consists of sensors, alert
system namely Blynk Application,
UART TTL Module used to burn the
code on the microcontroller ESP32
CAM, ESP32 CAM is used to take
photos of the intruder. If the intruder tries
to enter the monitored entrance the
system detects the intruder by making
use of LDR and Laser Module. When the
laser light incident on the LDR is
blocked, resistance of the LDR increases.
Once the resistance of the LDR increases
it triggers ESP32 CAM to take a photo of
the intruder. ESP32 CAM takes a photo
of the intruder and along with a
notification alert sends it to a Wi-Fi
connected device through Telegram.
2. Literature Review
[2.1] During the 1900’s, Albert Einstein
first introduced the theoretical pillar for
lasers through his re-derivation of
Planck’s Law of Radiation. Rudolf W.
Ladenburg confirmed the existence of the
emission and negative absorption. In
1939, Valentin A. Fabrikant proposed
that this emission can also be amplified
in short waves. With the discovery of
hydrogen spectra, Willis E. Lamb, and
R.C. Retherford accidentally performed
the first demonstration of stimulated
emission.
[2.2] In 1951, Joseph Weber submitted a
paper on using stimulated emissions to
make a microwave amplifier to the
Institute of Radio Engineers Vacuum
Tube Research Conference at Ottawa. In
1953, Charles Hard Townes and graduate
students James P. Gordon and Herbert J.
Zeiger produced the first microwave
amplifier, a device operating on similar
principles to the laser, but amplifying
microwave radiation rather than infrared
or visible radiation. Townes's maser was
incapable of continuous output.
Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Nikolay
Basov and Aleksandr Prokhorov were
independently working on the quantum
oscillator and solved the problem of
continuous-output systems by using more
than two energy levels. These gain media
could release stimulated emissions
between an excited state and a lower
excited state, not the ground state,
facilitating the maintenance of a
population inversion. In 1955, Prokhorov
and Basov suggested optical pumping of
a multi-level system as a method for
obtaining the population inversion, later
a main method of laser pumping.
[2.3] In 1964 Charles H. Townes,
Nikolay Basov, and Aleksandr Prokhorov
shared the Nobel Prize in Physics, "for
fundamental work in the field of
quantum electronics, which has led to the
construction of oscillators and amplifiers
based on the maser–laser principle".
Simultaneously, at Columbia University,
graduate student Gordon Gould and
Townes met and talked about radiated
emission as a general subject. Afterwards
Gould noted his ideas for a "laser",
including using an open resonator. At a
conference in 1959, Gordon Gould
published the term “LASER” in the
paper “The LASER”.
[2.4] On May 16, 1960, Theodore H.
Maiman operated the first functioning
laser at Hughes Research Laboratories,
Malibu, California, ahead of several
research teams, including those of
Townes, at Columbia 4 University,
Arthur Schawlow, at Bell Labs, and
Gould, at the TRG (Technical Research
Group) company. Later that year, the
Iranian physicist Ali Javan, and William
R. Bennett, and Donald Herriott,
constructed the first gas laser, using
helium and neon that was capable of
continuous operation in the infrared
(U.S. Patent 3,149,290); later, Javan
received the Albert Einstein Award in
1993. Basov and Javan proposed the
semiconductor laser diode concept. In
1962, Robert N. Hall demonstrated the
first laser diode device. Later that year,
Nick Holonyak, Jr. demonstrated the first
semiconductor laser with a visible
emission. In 1970, ZhoresAlferov, in the
USSR, and Izuo Hayashi and Morton
Panish of Bell Telephone Laboratories
also independently developed
room-temperature, continual-operation
diode lasers, using the heterojunction
structure. Since then, the laser has played
a great role in various fields of study.
3. Methodology and Technology
[3.1] The key element of this circuit is
the LDR. This is because the resistance
of the LDR has an inverse relation with
the intensity of light i.e, the resistance of
the LDR increases with the decrease in
the intensity of light and vice-versa. The
above circuit is connected to the power
supply and ESP-32 Cam module. When
the laser is switched on, the laser beam
falls on the LDR. Since maximum
intensity is received, the resistance of the
LDR is minimum. Hence, voltage across
it is minimum. This is because of Ohm’s
law which states that the voltage across
any element in the circuit is directly
proportional to the resistance of that
element. (V=IR)
[3.2] When the laser beam is obstructed,
the LDR will receive very low or no light
(depending on the amount of obstruction
created). Hence, its resistance will
decrease and voltage will increase. When
the voltage across the LDR is above the
cut-off voltage of the transistor (in the
WIFI module), the transistor is turned on.
This makes the current flow to the
buzzer, which buzzes for a certain
amount of time (here it is about 15
seconds).
Also, a message will be sent across
Telegram stating that the alarm has been
activated.
[3.3] When the laser beam is restored
(the obstruction is removed), the light
intensity is increased and in turn the
resistance of LDR decreases, hence the
voltage across it is below the cut-off
voltage of the transistor. Thus, the
transistor is turned off. This makes the
buzzer stop making noise.
[3.4] We have successfully made an
“IOT Based Laser Anti-theft Security
System With Telegram Alert” using
ESP-32 Cam module, Arduino Uno,
LDR and Laser Diode. When someone
trespasses beyond the laser the security
alarm will be triggered and it will send
the trespasser's photograph along with a
security alert on telegram as well as
Gmail. Everyone in the team had a
different set of skills, some were good in
hardware and some were good in
software so we divided our work and
worked as a team. We started working on
the project and we came across some
challenges but somehow we managed to
get a perfect solution for our problems
and at the end we successfully created
our project.
Conclusion
In this project, we have successfully
developed an IOT based anti-theft security
system with G-mail and Telegram alert that
can detect unauthorized entry and alert the
owner in real-time. With this system, users
can keep their property safe from theft or
other forms of damage. The system is
equipped with sensors that monitor the
premises for any suspicious activity and
sends alerts to the user immediately through
G-mail or Telegram. This security system
has been designed to be cost-effective,
secure and easy to use.
