Security has becoming an important issue everywhere. Home security is becoming necessary nowadays as the possibilities of intrusion are increasing day by day. Safety from theft, leaking of raw gas and fire are the most important requirements of home security system for people. A traditional communications based security systems provides enhanced security as whenever a signal from sensor occurs, a text message is sent to a desired number to take necessary actions.


This paper suggests two methods for home security system. The first system uses web camera. Whenever there is a motion in front of the camera, it gives security alert in terms of sound and a mail is delivered to the owner. The second method sends SMS which uses GSM-GPS Module (sim548c) and  lpc2148 microcontroller, sensors, relays and buzzers.
