Abstract

The SMS-based alarm system is a stand-alone security device which sends text alerts whenever a security button/switch is
triggered. A PIC16F877A microcontroller is used to control the SMS capability of a Nokia 3310 mobile phone through the FBUS connection. As long as there is sufficient signal strength and prepaid load, the system will be able to send alert messages to a receiver cellular phone. The results observed fron a series of iterative tests prove that the device is reliable. This security device can be used by people who want to make their real-estates safe from intrusion when they are out of town. A message could be sent stating, for example, that a door has been opened and immediate action can be initiated. This project is a good starting point for further improvements such as an appliance control using a cellular phone
