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 Node MCU 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 Node MCU unit that 
communicates wirelessly with a central Node MCU 
hub using ESP-NOW. If a prisoner carrying a Node 
MCU 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.   
This project aligns with the growing demand for 
innovative security solutions in correctional 
facilities, showcasing the potential of IoT in 
ensuring safety and preventing unauthorized 
movements.
