2. ARDUINO EMAILING SYSTEM  Motivation  Problem Statement  Assumptions  Solution  Results  Design (top level)  Video Time  Future Work  Q & A 2

3. MOTIVATION  The motivation behind this project was to provide clear instruction on how to install an IP camera to help people catch a burglar or home invader. 3

4. INTRODUCTION  In 2012, there were 2,100,000 burglaries in 2012. (FBI.gov)  A reported 4.7 billion dollars was lost as a result. (FBI.gov) 4 http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/ property-crime/burglary

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT  People need an option for a monitoring security system that will provide a relatively cheap alternative to current solutions  Provide a way to privately notify the client so he/she can take action to catch the burglar. 5

6. PROPOSED SOLUTION  Use an Arduino microcontroller with inputs in specific places to monitor for unauthorized changes in signal (such as a door opening).  If change is detected then the Arduino should contact the client and let them know about the change. 6 ►The system should be customizeable towards each client.

7. ASSUMPTIONS  You have a working internet connection  You have either A router with a free LAN port OR a laptop with a free LAN port AND internet connection sharing enabled  You have an RJ45 Ethernet cable to use  You have a laptop with a USB port to program and power the Arduino  You have an email account that will accept the email Gmail accounts are fine. Yahoo accounts will not accept the email. 7

8. RESULTS  The key result of this project was  A functional security system which could send emails to a Gmail account controlled via local area connection (or WLAN).  The system has two inputs to monitor a door and movement as well as one master button to disarm the system. 8

11. CONCLUSIONS  Great for small environments  Great stepping stone for future improvements  Easy to configure and wire  Cheap compared to other systems 11

12. FUTURE WORK  Add an alarm or a bell to scare off potential intruders Could also wire an MP3 player to play a recorded message of you screaming “get out of here”  Add indicator LEDs to let the users know if there is an issue in sending the email  Replace the Arduino Uno to Arduino Mega in order to add more to the Arduino program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replace the security system inputs with an analog temperature sensor circuit and use that as an alert system at the grocery store I work at to monitor freezer temperatures. 12

13. 13 Questions or Suggestions? *Why use a third party service to send email, why not send mail directly to your inbox? The more popular SMTP services block unencrypted logins that the Arduino is forced to do. Because of this you have to go through a service that will accept plain text logins. *Since you send your account information in plain can’t someone sniff out that information and steal your account information? It would be possible, however, someone would have to be sniffing while someone is attempting to break into your house, I think the chances of both of those happening at the same time is pretty low. Also the login information is in Base64 format which isn’t really the same thing as plain text, but is very easy to decode. *Does this system have to be plugged into a computer to work? No, as long as you have a working internet connection through the Ethernet shield and a 9V power adapter.
