The issue of Owners not being able to know what is going on

in their house when they are not at home besides that
problems such as theft and fires in the home while the user is
at home can be overcome by this system.

information from internet to telegram application. If any
problem is noticed in the home by the sensor it gives
notification to the telegram application by capturing and
sending the photo with a message and we can reply using the
command specified to enable and disable the sensors.

COMPONENTS

ESP32-CAM:- The ESP32-CAM is a small size, low power

consumption camera module based on ESP32. It comes with
an OV2640 camera and provides onboard TF card slot. The
ESP32-CAM can be widely used in intelligent IoT applications
such as wireless video monitoring, Wi-Fi image upload, QR
identification, and so on.

8. ALGORITHM

Step 1:- Install and set up the ESP32-CAM module and

connect it to the home Wi-Fi network.
Step 2:- Install the Telegram application on a mobile
device and create a new bot using the BotFather service.
Note the bot token and chat ID.
Step 3:- Connect the ESP32-CAM to the Telegram bot using
the bot token and chat ID. Fig.8.3.1 ESP32-CAM
Step4:- Define the trigger conditions for the security
system, such as motion detection or door/window opening. PIR Sensor:- PIR (passive infrared) sensors utilise the

the Telegram chat associated with the bot.
Step 7:- Define the action to be taken when the security
system is triggered, such as sounding an alarm or notifying
the homeowner.
Step 8:- Write the code for the ESP32-CAM to execute the
defined action when the security system is triggered.
Step 9:- Test the system thoroughly and make necessary
adjustment

RESULTS

Fig.8.3.3 Flame Sensor

Smoke Sensor:- Smoke alarms detect fires by sensing small

particles in the air using a couple of different kinds of
technologies. Once they detect those particles above a certain
threshold, they signal the alarm to sound so that you and
your family can get to safety and call 911. Smoke alarms save
lives

Magnetic Door Sensor:- A door contact sensor works using a

sensor and a magnet. The sensor has an internal reed switch
that is closed when it is in direct proximity with a magnet.
When the door is opened, the magnet is separated from the
sensor. This releases the reed switch, and the sensor alerts
the panel.

In conclusion, a home security system using ESP32CAM and
Telegram application can be an effective and cost-efficient
solution to safeguard your home. ESP32CAM is a powerful
microcontroller that can handle image and video processing,
and its integration with Telegram allows for real-time
monitoring and alerts. With this setup, the ESP32CAM can
capture images or videos of any potential intrusion and send
them to your Telegram account for immediate action.
Additionally, you can remotely control the ESP32CAM, such
as turning it on and off or adjusting its sensitivity, using
Telegram commands. Overall, this DIY home security system
provides a simple yet effective way to secure your home, and
