Anti-Theft System (Security Based)

Anti-Theft System (Security Based)

Project - Anti-Theft System

The project is based on the principles of IOT and my learnings from the recent Summer Steam Workshop. The project is made on the website WOKWI, ( A website for development and simulation for the projects ) and the data sent over BLYNK IOT for monitoring.

Problem ( The problem the project solves ) -

In today's world, when technology is getting advanced day-by-day, so are crimes increasing day-by-day. Criminals have taken advantage of the advanced technology which have made commiting a crime much more easier. Anyone in the mid would want to have security and prevention from such people, thus the need for innovation for such a system was required. Through innovation, research and experiments, we have now created an anti-theft system which turns the tables i.e. criminals using technology for thefts turns into we using technology for safety. Here is a little brief of my project from whatever  mentioned here:

A brief about My Project : 

The project is a part of Security Based System. The project is an Anti-Theft System which uses a PIR Sensor, Buzzer, LED, ESP32 for Micro-Controller and Blynk IOT. PIR Sensor is used for detecting Motion. When any object comes within the range of PIR Sensor and creates movement, The PIR sensor would surely detect it and send input to the buzzer and LED. This would only happen if there is any motion detected. After sending input, the LED would turn ON and Buzzer would produce a sound to showcase the output. Now, the big questions is, that how would it help in anti0theft system ? Well, let me explain.

I told earlier that PIR sensor is there for motion detection, that means the motion detection would be used for the thief when he/she comes near the range of the sensor. If, it might be the case, the thief comes in the range of the PIR Sensor, and moves, the sensor would detect that there is motion in its range and would send the input to the buzzer & LED respectively for them to thier job i.e. The Buzzer to produce an alarm/ring and the LED to turn Off. This is a effective method for reducing the number of crimes. Still, there is room for innovation. We could add feature that as soon as the alarm goes off, it would automatically call the police.

Tools used in the Project :

The following tools are used in my project -

1) PIR Sensor - Motion Detection

2) Buzzer - Alarm Alert

3) LED - Detection with Light

4) ESP32 - Micro Controller

5) Breadboard - Required for Connections

6) Wires

About Makershala

Makershala is a Learning by Making ecosystem for kids from age 8-16 to help them discover their interests, develop future skills and deepen conceptual understanding. Makershala follows the Project Based Learning approach as its way of teaching in which kids work on authentic, real life & personally meaningful projects.


Kids work on these projects in different educational settings, namely; self-learning; online 1:4 Peer to Peer with a mentor; or in a school. Projects are categorized in different interest segments like Robotics, Coding, Electronics, 3D Printing, Animations, Photography, Machine Learning, Astronomy and many more.


Each project is mapped with classroom concepts, 21st century skills, UN sustainable development goals and interests/careers to not only focus on holistic development of a child but help them identify their calling by giving them exposure to problems that exist in the real world.


Why Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning has the potential to solve many of the learning problems we see today beyond foundational literacy.

  • Ownership: Learners have complete ownership on what they need to know to solve a problem and come up with the best solution in the best way. It can be a concept or a software tool or a skill. Kids involved in projects are never required to be told to study.

  • Interdisciplinary: Unlike traditional learning where subjects are taught in silos and learners develop a perception of liking or disliking a subject. In project based learning, the given problem is supreme and it may require to know something from maths, science and history together.

  • Experiential learning: We generally retain 75% of what we do as opposed to only 5% of what we hear and 10% of what we read, hence PBL helps kids retain what they learn.

  • Lifelong learning: The most important gift that PBL gives to its learners is to make them lifelong learners as this is the most required skill to lead a good life, personally & professionally.

  • Skills & Knowledge balance: Project-based learning doesn’t focus too much on memorizing information, rather it equally demands practising life skills to be able to do better in projects.

How Makershala Works
  • Parents and Kids who wish to start their journey with Makershala, are suggested to pick one interest area of the child and then choose a plan.

  • Parents and Kids after enrolling in a course based on their interest are assigned a batch. Each batch has 3-4 learners and 1 mentor.

  • Each course has 6 guided projects and 1 challenge project.

  • During the project, formative assessments are conducted to evaluate learner’s knowledge & skills.

  • On completion of a project parents and kids get a learning report which indicates the skills and knowledge developed/displayed by them.

  • Kids also build their portfolio which showcases problems solved, solutions created, skills developed, knowledge acquired and technologies learnt.

  • Kids earn rewards in the form of badges, points and coins for their performance in a project, course and overall.

  • Kids are maneuvered to take up courses and projects from different learning segments to gain more clarity on their interests. This eventually helps them in picking up a career.
