A system for detecting intrusions using smart sensoThe Smart Intrusion Detection System is a security-focused project designed to detect unauthorized entry into a specified area using motion and entry sensors. This system is ideal for homes, offices, and restricted areas, as it alerts users immediately upon detecting suspicious movements or intrusions.
 
Project Description
This system uses smart sensors (like PIR motion sensors, door/window sensors, and optionally ultrasonic sensors) to detect any movement or entry in a secured area. Once an intrusion is detected, the system can trigger alarms, send notifications, or even capture images or video for additional security.
 
How the Project Works
Intrusion Detection: The PIR Motion Sensor detects movement within a certain range, while door/window sensors monitor for any unauthorized openings.
Microcontroller Processing: When an intrusion is detected, the microcontroller (e.g., ESP32, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi) processes this input.
Alert Mechanism: Upon detecting an intrusion, the microcontroller triggers an alarm (buzzer) or sends a notification via Wi-Fi (if using IoT-enabled boards).
Optional Camera Module: An ESP32-CAM or similar camera module can capture images or short videos of the intruder and store them or send them to the user via email or cloud storage.
 
Components List
Microcontroller: ESP32, ESP8266, or Arduino (IoT-enabled boards are ideal for remote alerts)
PIR Motion Sensor: Detects motion in the vicinity
Magnetic Door/Window Sensors: Detects unauthorized openings of doors or windows
Buzzer: Provides an audible alarm upon detecting an intrusion
LED Indicators: Visual indication for alerts (optional)
Camera Module (optional): ESP32-CAM or other camera for capturing images upon intrusion
Wi-Fi Connectivity: In-built for ESP32/ESP8266; use ESP-01 module with Arduino if needed
Power Supply: Appropriate power source depending on the microcontroller
