Story

Project Overview

Our project is a security and IoT based system which uses motion sensing 'triggers' and MQTT technology for sending/receiving messages

We will be utilizing a motion sensor to sense movement and outputs catering to audio and visuals will be triggered once movements are detected. Phone alerts would also be triggered in the event. A pi-cam would also be used to capture images.

One raspberry pi will act as the sensor to capture image while the other raspberry pi will act as the actuator to send notifications and alert the office.
