The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a transformational technology that allows the creation of applications connecting physical objects to the internet, thereby making everyday tasks easier and more efficient.IoT allows devices to communicate and exchange vital data with other systems, for example, in home automation, to reduce human effort and improve convenience.This technology usually employs Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for data transmission.For instance, IoT can ensure that parents have peace of mind because their young children are not left alone at home.With IoT, parents are able to monitor what is happening inside and outside their homes, as well as who comes to the door, remotely.This is parental control and home security application using a product with motion detection, photo recognition of abnormal behavior, and easy monitoring without needing to open the door.The ESP32-CAM captures and stores images of the visitor and sends it via TCP/IP to the Telegram alerts.The system ensures only authorized people enter the house.When motion is detected at the door, the camera captures photos, which are then sent to the owner through Telegram.This system eliminates the need to watch long CCTV footage and enables the owner to quickly identify unusual activities.This complete control system is developed and tested using the ESP32-CAM microcontroller.
