Design and Construction of Smart Vehicle Security System Using GPS and Spy Cam

Abstract

Aims: Vehicle security is critical in today's world because car thefts are on the rise. robbery, and impersonation are among the crimes committed against automobiles. As a result, keeping track of and safeguarding vehicles has grown to be a significant problem in modern life. Study Design: The system combines GPS (Global Positioning Service), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), and Spy Cam technologies interfaced with an Arduino UNO to track the location of a car in real time. Methodology: Short Message Service (SMS) messages are sent to the user or Vehicle authority mobile phone together with images of the current vehicle operator when SMS with the word "Track" is composed and sent to the SIM number inserted into the GSM module. BLYNK Android application serves as database for storing and  retrieving cloud information when requested. Results: The vehicle current location and the image of the current user will be displayed on Google Maps application of the sender. This technology enhances mobile vehicle security and avoid loss and impersonation. An SMS security warning is also sent to the owner when there is a lot of movement in front of the camera. Conclusion: This system helps in detection and reporting of vehicle theft in real time. It can be employed in individual cars since it is affordable; also vehicle safety authorities can employ this technology to help them secure vehicles better.
