IOT BASED PRISON BREAK MONITORING AND ALERT SYSTEM USING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The "Internet of Things-Based Prison Break Monitoring and Alert System Using Wireless Communication"
project presents a groundbreaking approach to enhance prison security and prevent escapes. Leveraging
NodeMCU units in ESP-NOW communication mode, this system establishes a wireless network within the
correctional facility, providing continuous monitoring and immediate alerts in the event of a prison break. Prison
security is a top priority, and this project addresses the critical need for robust monitoring systems. Each prisoner
wears a NodeMCU unit that communicates wirelessly with a central NodeMCU hub using ESP-NOW. If a
prisoner carrying a NodeMCU unit moves beyond the network's coverage area, the system detects the breach and
triggers an immediate alert to the jailer. The alert includes the prisoner's unique code, enabling swift action to
prevent escapes or unauthorized movement. The "Prison Break Monitoring and Alert System" project exemplifies
the fusion of IoT and wireless communication technology to enhance correctional facility security. By providing
real-time monitoring and instant alerts, it significantly reduces the risks associated with prison escapes,
safeguarding both inmates and staff.
