Real Time Home Security System using GSM Technology-An Anti-theft System! This project deals with the design & development of a theft control system for home, which is being used to prevent/control ...

[IngGaro]’s latest project uses the full range of features available in this versatile microcontroller and has turned an Arduino Mega into a fully-functional home alarm system.

Here is the circuit of an Arduino-based Panic Alarm! The wiring is very simple so that even a novice can construct this interesting circuit without any difficulty. Arduino is a family of ...

He’s using an Arduino Uno and an Ethernet breakout board to hook it up to the network. This allows him to send text messages to himself when the alarm system is armed, disarmed, or triggered.

Making your own security system isn't too hard, but if you'd like a super cheap and simple method, Instructables user deba168 shows how to make a wireless motion detector with an Arduino.

Arduino projects can help ease the learning curve of getting into programming, and even add some smart functionality to your everyday tasks around the house.

You'll need an Arduino along with a bunch of various sensors to get the project rolling, and once it's all set up you'll have a simple, but cheap system to monitor your home.
