        abstract = {The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled the development of intelligent and automated security systems. The IoT-Based Anti-Theft Flooring System is designed to enhance security in homes, offices, and restricted areas by detecting unauthorized movement through floor vibrations or pressure. The system uses piezoelectric or pressure sensors placed beneath the flooring surface to sense unusual footsteps or vibrations. These sensor signals are processed by an Arduino microcontroller, which determines whether the detected movement indicates an intrusion. When unauthorized activity is detected, the system triggers a local alarm and sends real-time notifications to the user’s smartphone through a Wi-Fi module such as the ESP8266. The system can also be integrated with a cloud platform like Blynk or ThingSpeak to monitor and log intrusion events. This project focuses on providing a low-cost, reliable, and efficient smart security solution using IoT technology. The implementation demonstrates the effectiveness of combining sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless communication for real-time intrusion detection and alert systems.},
