Real Time Tracking and Alert System for Laptop through Implementation of GPS, GSM, Motion Sensor and Cloud Services for Antitheft Purposes

This paper report explains the methodology to track a stolen laptop through the implementation of GPS, GSM, Motion Sensor, and Cloud Services. Unlike other existing laptop tracking techniques available in the market, the methodology mentioned in the paper tracks the laptop even if it is not connected to the internet or is in turn off mode. With the implementation of IoT, the owner will be able to track his or her stolen laptop the moment it makes a small movement and can trigger an alarm that will be embedded in the laptop. The alarm will make noise audible up to 10 meters that will make the thief think twice before carrying the laptop with himself. Meanwhile the owner will also be able to monitor the location of his or her stolen laptop through the mobile application installed on his or her phone by communicating with the GPS and GSM modules embedded in the laptop, through the cloud.
