PISHIELD: IOT-BASED SMART SURVEILLANCE FOR THEFT PREVENTION

Abstract

In today's security-conscious environment, traditional surveillance systems often fall short in providing real-time alerts and intelligent monitoring. PiShield is an IoT-based smart surveillance solution designed to enhance theft prevention using low-cost, high-efficiency components. Leveraging the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi, motion sensors, and camera modules, the system continuously monitors the environment and detects unauthorized movements. Upon detecting suspicious activity, PiShield captures images or video and instantly transmits alerts to the user’s smartphone or cloud server via Wi-Fi. The integration of artificial intelligence enables object recognition and anomaly detection, reducing false alarms and increasing accuracy. With remote access, real-time monitoring, and automated notifications, PiShield provides a scalable, efficient, and user-friendly solution for securing homes, offices, and small businesses against theft
