dc.description.abstractAdvancements in the field of asset security have emerged as a result of the Internet of Things (IoT)’s explosive expansion. Several innovations have featured systems ranging from smart home automation to asset tracking and monitoring. The systems use different technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) among others to secure the assets. As technology improve, intruders also update themselves with intrusion skills and knowledge, and this has led to the emergence of more sophisticated challenges in terms of asset security. To curb these challenges, this project proposes an asset security system that will be comprised of IoT integration, real-time alerts, and power autonomy for remote monitoring of the non-powered assets. Besides, a tamper-proof unit will be used to detect when the asset has been broken into, which will prevent intruders from compromising the security system inside the asset. In that case, a notification will be sent to the asset owner through the GSM SMS functionality. Further, based on the distance from the pre-set distance, the device will map the value to asset security states namely; zero to 0.5, 0.5 to 1 and greater than 1 where they will be interpreted as low, medium, and high-level security threat states respectively. This research project will bring on-board geofencing and remote-control capabilities to asset security systems so that the location of a device can be tracked when it is relocated.en_US
