Home Security System using Raspberry Pi and PIR Sensor with Push Notification Alerts | tecno4 | Scoop.it

Nowadays Home security is very important and there are many surveillance systems available in the market to monitor your home or office from anywhere. But these IP based security systems are very costly, and the cheaper once only stream data locally.

So here we are building a simple yet useful Home Security System using Raspberry Pi and PIR Sensor. This system will detect the presence of Intruder and quickly alert the user by sending a Push notification to their phone. Raspberry Pi is used to control the whole system and PIR sensor used to detect any motion. This system can be installed near the door of your home or office and you can get the live notification if someone enters in your house. 

Raspberry Pi is the most suitable microcontroller for IoT projects as it has inbuilt Wi-Fi to connect with internet easily. To start using Raspberry pi, either you should have a display monitor which can be connected using HDMI cable or you can access it using SSH terminal or VNC server. In our previous projects, we controlled Raspberry Pi GPIO with various IoT platforms.
