Home Security System
Intelligent embedded security — built from the ground up.
A fully embedded, real-time home security platform built on ARM Cortex-M. The system integrates motion detection, door/window sensors, siren control, and a remote alert mechanism — all running on a custom RTOS-based firmware stack with a bootloader for secure OTA updates.
Product Features
Real-Time Motion Detection
PIR sensor integration with interrupt-driven detection and configurable sensitivity zones.
Multi-Zone Door & Window Sensing
Reed switch and magnetic sensor support across multiple zones with individual arming.
Siren & Alert Control
PWM-driven siren with configurable alarm patterns and remote GSM/SMS alert delivery.
OTA Firmware Update
Secure firmware updates via a custom bootloader with CRC validation and rollback protection.
Low-Power Operation
Deep sleep modes with timed wake-up and sensor interrupt wake paths for battery efficiency.
Status Display
OLED-based local status panel showing zone state, armed/disarmed status and event log.
