A smart and cost-effective fire detection system for developing country: an IoT based approach

Disaster caused by sudden uncertain fire is one of the main reasons for a great loss of properties and human lives. In our paper, we have developed a smart and cost-effective fire detection system based on the IoT that can detect the sudden uncertain fire in a quick succession to reduce the significant loss. The device houses a sensor-based smoke detection system and a camera which could be accessed by the user from anywhere through the use of internet for taking necessary preventive actions based on the reliable assessment. The notification system takes advantage of an online short message service which is connected to the Raspberry Pi module that gets triggered when the smoke sensors detect the smoke and informs the users about the predicament. The device also has a buzzer connected to central module to notify the nearby users.
