Abstract

This project aims to prevent vehicle theft by implementing a face recognition system. Drivers are enrolled in the system, allowing it to recognize them each time they enter the vehicle. Authorized individuals can access predefined functionalities, like starting the car. If an unauthorized person attempts to unlock the car, not only does the system trigger an automatic SMS alert to the owner and family members, but it also initiates an emergency shutdown of the vehicle's engine. GPS is used to track the vehicle's location and share it via SMS. Additionally, SMS alerts are also sent if the vehicle is detected moving without the engine running, using motion sensors to detect potential theft scenarios like a thief using a trolley.
