Laser-Based Security Monitoring Alarm Triggered System in Industrial Application Using IoT

There is a potential risk of theft and trespassing occurring on industrial premises because various business operations are handled. Several methods are adopted to deal with this issue, such as using the services of security guards and installing security alarms for security purposes. However, it involves a less cost-effective electronic system. Therefore, this security monitoring system that uses lasers was proposed for the purpose of dealing with this issue. Laser light is used to cover large areas because lasers can travel long distances without scattering effects, have sufficient energy to trigger the security system in a small zone and the existence of laser light is not clearly noticeable compared to the cable connection concept. Thus, intruders cannot detect that there is a security alarm installed in the area. This project aims to design and develop a security alarm laser-triggered system using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and IoT technology interface with a camera that could monitor the movement through camera footage on mobile apps. The main components used are an Arduino to execute commands and a web camera that displays a video when the intruder crosses the laser. The proposed project is beneficial for recent security issues regarding high-rated intruders on industrial premises.
