Besides all that, there is the IoT-Based Anti-Theft Mat System. As it is evident from the name, the security system is intended for securing the property from any unauthorized access by means of a relatively inexpensive apparatus, which employs a principle of the pressure detection method. Different from the current devices which utilize motion sensors and often suffer from false alarm, this system will detect a person\\\'s footprint. This concept is based on the employment of the pressure sensor installed inside the mat, data about which will be forwarded to the microcontroller. Once someone steps on the mat, the device will immediately notify its user about it through Wi-Fi connection. Thus, users will be notified about intrusion instantly once it happens. Due to the IoT, users will be able to receive notifications independently from their location at that moment. There are several benefits offered by the proposed system such as its cost-effectiveness, easy operation and availability. It will be easy for users to install such a device either in their office or residence since no expenses will be required for installation and purchase of additional hardware.
