developed the necessary algorithm for servo motor and cell
phone monitoring using the Arduino IDE programming. The
Arduino IDE software, which is purchased from the Arduino
designer, is used in this system to create the program for the
Arduino controller. The Arduino Uno can be controlled by the

V. SOFTWARE

We used the open-source software business Arduino.

The procedure starts with the system setting up a pre-defined
password. When a user attempts to unlock the system, they
enter a password that is read and compared to one that has
previously been created. The system will switch to
"Unlocked" when the one entered matches the specified one;
in this scenario, the servo motor will activate and unlock the
lock to allow entry. If the and the are not equal, the servo
motor will shut off, the lock will remain engaged, and it won't
unlock. The system is safe because only users who have the
correct password can access it.

VI. WORKING

Home Security Alarm Systems are of high importance in

modern society in which crime is rising fast to the
advancement of technology that we have reached during the
last decade, a homeowner needs not to bother much regarding
the safety of his home while taking off from his
house. Modern home security systems offer an immense
amount of protection against burglars, smoke, and fire, etc. It
also delivers the alarm instantaneously to the
homeowner. This work is designed for creating a simple home
security alarming system which is so efficient. The mapped
out work of this project about sensing burglars and informing
the owner through a phone call. The two parts of the working
of this project is as follows.

 Part I:
The first portion is where all of the keypad, servo motor,
and Arduino connections are made. It inputs the information
using a keypad and compares it to an existing password. The
GSM module is activated. This project, computer hardware,

from the client's mobile device. The input obtained through
the keypad will be filtered by the home security system when
it is turned on. If deterrents are identified, the framework can
activate ringer alerts and send an SMS or call to the client's
cell phone. Due to our lack and necessity, home security
features have shown to be highly desirable in the future.
People are becoming increasingly concerned about protecting
their homes from unauthorized people. With the use of sensors
that may be synchronized with a GSM modem and a
microcontroller such as an Arduino, our system is able to
screen a residence. When there is a potential disruption,
clients might receive an SMS alarm message on their cell
phones. Since almost everyone carries a mobile phone these
days, the most significant benefit of our work is that clients
won't need to carry an additional gadget to monitor their
homes thanks to this platform. The effectiveness of this
