        abstract = {The project "Smart Home Security with IoT" aims at transforming residential security systems to use an ESP32 microcontroller platform. Different sensors such as PIR MQ2 smoke, and flame sensors; with a module of PZEM004T, for acquiring electrical parameters, with the help of ESP32 Cam board, carrying out real-time image processing automatically, along with the control lock for the entrance door. The system can be managed by a custom-built Android application in Kodular and allows users to monitor and control devices remotely. Alerts, such as captured images in the case of security breaches, are sent via Telegram for prompt response from the user. This project shows the capabilities of IoT to improve security with real-time monitoring, multi-sensor integration, and remote management.},
