An IoT-enabled home security system built using Arduino Uno and Python. This project integrates motion detection, real-time alerting, and image capture to monitor home environments intelligently.
📑 Features
- Motion Detection using PIR sensor
- Window Lock & Hazard Level Monitoring via potentiometers
- **Automated Door Locking **using a Servo motor
- Visual and Audible Alerts with LEDs and buzzer
- Image Capture using laptop camera (only when motion is detected)
- Real-time Alerts sent via Email and SMS using Python APIs
- Periodic Status Monitoring with customizable intervals
