IoT-Based Smart Security System for Women Using Sensor Fusion and Multimedia Capture

Abstract - In an era where women’s safety remains a pressing concern, particularly during solo travel, innovative solutions are imperative. This paper introduces an IoT-based smart security system designed to enhance personal safety through real-time monitoring and automated distress response. The proposed system integrates a heart rate sensor, camera, microphone, and IoT communication module embedded in a wearable system, controlled via a desktop application. The system detects distress through elevated heart rates, manual button presses, or voice commands, triggering image/audio capture and sending alerts with GPS coordinates to be registered emergency contacts and nearby police stations. The desktop application provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring alerts and accessing captured media.
