Microwave Security Alarm with GSM Capability: A Security Device

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Bula National High School has experienced theft cases due to lack of security measures implemented in its perimeters. One of the precautionary measures on preventing the problem is the installation of security devices. Its demand increased over the past years considering that not all the time security guards can provide full-time security. In this case, the researchers decided to develop a security alarm with GSM capability. A robot that will activate an alarm and send a notification message to the owner of the establishment when an intruder is detected.

METHODS

Developmental method was utilized to conduct this study. The developed device was validated by the experts and underwent proper dry run. The researchers used the arduino, sensor with GSM Capability, and survey questionnaires on the effectiveness and acceptability of the device as instruments in the study.

RESULTS

The newly developed security device can detect intruders and can even distinguish between a dog, a cat, and a human. It was also found that it was effective and was highly acceptable to the respondents. Moreover, the newly developed device is helpful on providing full-time security in the establishments of Bula National High School.

DISCUSSIONS

Microwave Security Alarm with GSM Capability helps the establishment to improve its safety and also to prevent untoward incident because it can detect intruders.
