Abstract:
Most homes in Uganda and the World at large suffer great losses due to theft and unauthorized access to the premises. Attempts have been made to curb the situation but the problem has remained a concern to the general communities. Despite attempts by the existing systems to solve the prevailing home security issues, intrusion in homes has remained a menace. The home laser security system has been developed to alert the home owner remotely via GSM module in case intrusion is detected. In addition, an alarm has also been implemented to signal home intrusion. An LDR sensor, GSM modem and buzzer have been interfaced with Arduino microcontroller using a C++ code written in Arduino 1.6.3. This system when deployed will help in alerting the home owner once unauthorized persons are detected within the home premises.
