Abstract— Home security and control is one of the basic
need of the mankind since from evaluation of Embedded
Systems. The paper “GSM and internet based home
security” is mainly aims to implements the emerging
applications of the GSM technology. Using GSM networks,
a controlling system has been proposed that will act as an
embedded system which can monitor and control
appliances and other devices locally using built-in input
and output peripherals.
Remotely the system allows the user to effectively
monitor and control the house/office appliances and
equipments via the mobile phone set by sending
commands in the form of SMS messages and receiving the
appliances status. This project concept is to use keywords
as SMS and processing it further as required to perform
several operations. The operation to be performed
depends up on the nature of the SMS sent or keyword
used. The principle in which the project is based is fairly
simple. First, the sent SMS will be received at the receiver
mobile station and then the required control signal is
generated and sent to the intermediate hardware that we
have designed according to the command received in form
of the sent message. In this we are using internet also to
send messages through internet we can control devices
Keywords— GSM, Internet, SMS.
I. INT ROD UCT IO N
Initially mobile phones were developed only for
voice communication but now-a-days the scenario
has changed means text messages have overtaken
the usage of voice calls, so voice communication is
become just one aspect of a mobile phone. As
headed into the second decade of 21thcentury and
witnessing more and more digital devices all around
us in our daily life. They were influencing our
routine living such that we cannot even imagine one
single day without using them. Mobile phone, PC,
TV, audio/video player, air conditioner, fridge,
oven, and so on are Sample of tens of digital

devices we have took them for granted as part of
our lives.
What more digital devices would come to our
home at the end of current decade? Ease of access
and use, is the main purpose of many remote
controllers we now use for our devices, their
number is getting bigger and bigger each day, as a
new device becomes remotely controllable.
Speakers, air conditioners, lights, curtains, garage
door, TVs and players are already being remote
controlled. Many applications like web hosting
services, network servers, and automated systems
need to be monitored continuously. And to monitor
them 24/7 by being physically present at the
location is not viable.
Therefore there is need to control such
applications remotely by mobile devices [5].Their
number are getting bigger and bigger each day, as a
new device becomes remotely controllable.
Server Control System (SCS) provides remote
access to a system and also provides security.
System is further developed by controlling various
computer applications using SMS technology and
providing security by detecting unwanted plugging
at USB ports. As Now days the official work is
distributed in groups, and the administrator is only a
person who have to monitor all work continuously
but he may be not always at the working location.
So to handle the work of the office from remote
location this application provides facility to work
with the computer operations using text SMS from
mobile phones. This can be done by using
combination of our mobile phone and with GSM
hardware for providing connectivity between
mobile and system. It is a mobile technology that
allows for sending and receiving text or even binary

messages to and from a mobile phone. With an
SMS based computer control system used here, the
monitoring and control can be achieved at all times.
This results to the ease of accessibility that comes
with the use of a mobile phone. Therefore, to
achieve an effective remote control and monitoring
system for a SMS based system is needed.
II. RELATED W OR K
As there is need for controlling your system
applications when we are away from the site, this
can be done by using combination of our mobile
phones & with some hardware for providing
connectivit y between mobile and PC. Idea to
control the microcomputers remotely with the help
of SMS technology is implemented. The System is
built with mobilit y in mind to provide remote
access to a system also providing security to the
system. We have further developed a system by
controlling various computer applications using
GSM/SMS technology. Varieties of electronic
equipment and systems like: TV, fire alarm systems,
security alarm systems, central heating systems, Hifi equipment, security system were needed to
handle means ON/OFF or monitor these electrical
devices remotely or to be communicated with the
devices but, if you are not at the home or that place
and you want to communicate with these device. So
a new technology to handle these devices remotely
and for communication required such as the GSM,
mobile technology, SMS (short message service)
and some hardware resources. With idea of remote
controlling of home appliances we have tried to
control the computer from remote location as like
the appliances
III. CHARA CTE RISTICS
The proposed system characteristics involve
remote controlling of appliances, system security
and
auto-configuration
such
that
system
automatically adjusts the system’s settings on
running hardware. The system has useful features
such as displaying the charging status, battery level
and signal strength of the mobile thus making the
prepared system reliable.

A. Strengths
System has many advantages such as remote
controlling of home appliances, availability by
making the ease of the system users. The user can
control the devices with the use of the GSM
technology thus making the system location
independent. The system contains easily available
components and are low cost too, which cuts down
the overall system cost. Moreover the system alerts
the user when necessary about breach via SMS
providing home security also it allows secure access
due to pre-configured number. The ease of such
deployment is due to wireless mode of
communication used with the help of GSM
Technology.
GSM technology provides the benefit that the
system is accessible in remote areas as well. The
system ease of accessibility and reliability increases
due to the useful features such as battery level
checking, charging status and signal strength
indication and the threats about the system. The
system integration is the user against security risk.
Simple and is also scalable and extensible. The
auto-configuration capability of the system allows
auto enabling/disabling of certain features.
B. Constraints
The system functionality is based on GSM
technology so the technological constraints must be
considered. The system is vulnerable to power
failure but this disruption can be avoided by
attaching the voltage source thus allowing users to
avail the great advantage of this system.
IV. CONCLUSION
Hence, the user can control the devices by simply
sending keywords from the user mobile as SMS and
as well as if he was not in a situation to use mobile
then the user allowed to control the devices with the
help of internet from the desktop or PC. This can be
further extended by allowing devices to control
automatically with the help of sensors and those
status can also be checked from the remote location
with
SMS
or
internet
from
Desktop.
