A Multi-Node IoT Solution for Real-Time Theft Detection & Tracking.
"Pickpocketing remains a major security challenge in crowded urban environments. Traditional 'find my phone' apps only work after the thief is long gone. There is a critical need for a system that provides immediate haptic feedback the moment a theft occurs and provides high-frequency tracking during the getaway."
Combines Light (LDR), Touch (Capacitive), and Motion (Accel/Gyro) to virtually eliminate false alarms.
Dedicated Smartphone Case (Pi 3B+) and Haptic Wristband (Arduino Nano).
Automatically switches GPS reporting from 15-minute intervals to 20-second intervals upon theft detection via MQTT.
