This project allows users to turn their old android devices into security devices.This works with most devices running android 5 and above.

This can be used in a standalone mode which unfortunately wont work in the dark. But the other version which includes connecting an ESP will work in the dark too!

Try the app here

Check out a Demonstration of the project Here

This app currently has two modes. Both solve the same problem of getting a home security device with little to no cost. This project consists of an Android app along with an optional ability to connect with a PIR sensor for working in the dark.

1. open the app
2. give requested permissions
3. select Standalone mode
4. The service will now have started!
5. When movement is detected infront of the camera, A photo is captured and sent to Face recognition program to check for faces,if present,image will be saved.
6. it is Recommonded to use Screen-pinning to increase security

1. open the app
2. give permissions.
3. select ESP-01 mode.
4. Setup the ESp circuit as mentioned below and connect it with the same wifi as the android phone.
5. This mode should now be working!
6. it is Recommonded to use Screen-pinning to increase security

1. connect the esp-01 to a programmer and connect gpio-0 to ground to start programming mode of ESP
2. flash the given code to the ESP using the Arduino IDE.
3. connect the output of a PIR sensor to gpio-0 as shown here
4. power the ESP and the PIR sensor and connect to it's wifi. The portal page that opens subsequently allows you to give the ESP wifi-credentials to login from the next time.

The images captured by the app will be saved in a folder called "SimpliSecure". Just check your Pictures folder for the folder name.
