outwardly. It has loop windings which are fuelled through
DC current and the stator has lasting magnets or electro-
magnetic windings. At the point when the motor is fuelled by
DC current, an attractive field is made inside the stator,
drawn in, repulsing magnets on it. Now rotor starts to turn.
To keep the rotor pivoting, the motor has a commutator. It
would quit turning, yet for this situation the commutator

7. CONCLUSIONS

This project presents an innovative method to

prevent smart home theft by providing spontaneous
notification of ongoing intrusion. The research has provided
a novel wireless sensing system for the surveillance and
detection of a human intruder as well as instant notification
of the intrusion to prevent theft.

It eliminates the use of DVR for recording as well as

the use of large amounts of memory for storage. The system
can effectively identify a human intruder and prevent false
alarms when the intruder is a non-human, by distinguishing
between human and non-human objects. All of these
processes lead to the instant notification of intrusion by
providing real-time notification about the potential theft.
