Inspiration

This project proposes the design and development of a smart anti-theft system specifically integrated into a vehicle’s side mirror and other easily detachable components (with the current focus on side mirrors). The system is intended to detect any unauthorized removal or tampering in real time, immediately notify the vehicle owner, and continue to track the mirror’s location after it has been stolen. In addition, the device will trigger a continuous alarm upon tampering, which can help deter theft and draw attention from nearby people. The loud audible alert can also assist the owner in locating and potentially recovering the stolen mirror.

This project aims to design a smart system that detects unauthorized removal of a car side mirror, alerts the car owner immediately, and tracks the mirror’s location to enable recovery.


Project Objectives

  • Detect mirror removal
  • Alert the owner in real time
  • Track mirror location
  • Enable retrieval
  • Create a compact and affordable solution

How It Works

  • Micro controller processes the event with the added sensors
  • A magnet is attached to the mirror housing.
  • Sensors detect mirror movement or removal and Alarm triggered on the stolen parts continuously
  • A Hall effect sensor (KY-003) is fixed to the car body.
  • When the mirror is in place → magnetic field detected.
  • When removed → magnetic field lost → alarm triggered.
