Smart Security Device for Women

Abstract

Nowadays, safety of women’s and children’s are the prime issue in our society. The fact that women in India have made a considerable progress in almost seven decades of Independence, but they still have to struggle against many social evils in the male-dominated society. Any evil and masculine forces still prevail in the modern Indian society that resists the forward march of women’s. Most of the crimes happen because of the lack of information. Even if we have a security system, it is providing same lack at that time. Here, comes the need for a device which automatically senses and rescues the victim from the danger, which is the venture of the idea of our project. This work was focused on developing a smart low-cost device to help women, feel them safer and prevent the occurrence of harassment and other dangerous situations. On providing a Smart device based on raspberry pi that not only helps to woman escape the critical situations but also ensures to provide justice to the women by capturing the image of the culprits. This device is extremely portable and can be activated by the victim on being assaulted just by clicking a button that will fetch her current location and also capture the image of the attacker via Raspberry Pi camera. The location and the image captured will sent to predefined emergency contact numbers or police via smart phone thus preventing the use of additional hardware devices /modules and making the device compact. This concept was devised in every wake of serious crimes against women in India and to help prevent those crimes.
