A VERSATILE APPROACH TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A FOOLPROOF SECURITY SYSTEM USING INERTIAL MICROMACHINED SENSOR

In this paper we present a Wireless security system for electronic equipments using inertial MEMS sensor which is implemented using an embedded microcontroller. Equipment security is an emerging field in the today’s electronic world. Securing sensitive electronic equipments and expensive equipments have become vital these days due to increased number of thefts. Especially when the sensitive equipment is stored and accessed via networked environment, considerable attention must be taken to ensure equipments are not accessed by unauthorized users. To safeguard the equipments, an intelligent system can be designed using microcontroller along with a MEMS sensor to detect the physical displacement of the equipment. By getting an external interrupt when unauthorized person try to access the device the system would alarm and will alert the owners to detect the theft. Since this system is useful to detect and avoid thefts, it is also called as Anti theft system. In this paper we have proposed a method using MEMS sensor and a micro controller for protecting electronic equipments (which are operating from remote locations) from the intruder and transfer the message instantaneously to the authorised person. 1
