Alarm System

A Cellular Phone Based Home / Office Controller & Alarm System

Remote management of several home and office appliances is a subject of growing interest and in recent years we have seen many systems providing such controls. In this study, we have developed a cellular phone based home/office remote controller equipped with power controllers, an alarm system, a voice memory and a back-up battery unit. In traditional PSTN based remote controllers, the user always has the possibility of line cuts due to fires or professional burglars cutting the wires before getting to work. Our system eliminates such disadvantages with its unique properties.  Key Words: Home/office automation, cellular phone based alarm system, remote controller
