Here the pictures are saved in Raspberry Pi with the name which itself contains the time and date of entry. Here we have used the message “Please find the attachment”, you can change it accordingly in the Code given at the end. The mail contains a message and picture of intruder as attachment.

After it, Raspberry Pi creates a mail and sends it to the defined mail address with recently clicked images. Raspberry pi sends commands to Pi camera to click the picture and save it. Whenever anyone or intruder comes in range of PIR sensor, PIR Sensor triggers the Pi Camera through Raspberry Pi. A PIR sensor is used to detect the presence of any person and a Pi Camera is used to capture the images when the presence it detected. You can buy all the components used in this project from here. This system can be installed at the main door of your home or office and you can monitor it from anywhere in the world using your Email over internet. Raspberry Pi is used to control the whole system. This mail will also contain the Picture of the Intruder, captured by Pi camera. This system will detect the presence of Intruder and quickly alert the user by sending him a alert mail.

In this IoT based Project, we will build a Home Security System using PIR Sensor and PI Camera. There are many types of good security systems and cameras out there for home security but they are much expensive so today we will build a low cost simple Raspberry Pi based Intruder Alert System, which not only alert you through an email but also sends the picture of Intruder when it detects any. In the world of Internet of Things (IoT) when we have all the technologies to revolutionize our life, it's a great idea to develop a system which can be controlled and monitored from anywhere.
