Securing high-value electronic equipment: an internet of things driven approach for camera security

Abstract

This article addresses pressing challenge of securing high-value electronic equipment, notably cameras, which face dual threats of damage in high humidity conditions and theft due to their significant market value. To confront these issues, the study introduces innovative internet of things (IoT)-driven approach aimed at strengthening conventional storage box security. Central to this approach is integration of IoT technologies, such as Arduino and ESP32, to develop advanced safety storage box. This enhanced system features essential hardware components, including buzzer, password-protected keypad, radio frequency identification reader, and DHT11 sensor for humidity monitoring. Additionally, mobile alarm system is incorporated to promptly alert owners of any detected movement vibrations, thereby augmenting security measures. By leveraging these components, proposed methodology seeks to mitigate risks associated with camera theft and fungal contamination, thereby advancing electronic device security. The expected outcome is marked enhancement in protection of high-value electronic equipment, particularly cameras, through continuous real-time monitoring and proactive security measures. This research underscore’s critical role of IoT technologies in fortifying security measures for valuable electronic assets, contributing significantly to ongoing discourse on innovative strategies in field. Through its comprehensive approach, this study aims to offer practical solutions to mitigate security risks and safeguard electronic equipment against potential threats, thereby addressing critical need in realm of electronic device security.
