The fast evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has helped to implement intelligent and automated security systems for the boundaries of agricultural fields, industrial areas, forest areas, and restricted zones. The traditional security measures, such as fences, are not efficient in providing security. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a solar power-based IoT smart security fence using the ESP32 microcontroller. The proposed system includes different types of sensors such as PIR sensor for detecting intruders, vibration sensor to detect tampering of the fence, smoke sensor to detect fire, and others. The sensor data are continuously sensed and processed using the ESP32 microcontroller. The ESP32 microcontroller helps to make decisions in real time. The detected events are displayed using an LCD display. The sensor data are also sent to the cloud using the IoT platform. The detected events are sent to the cloud using the IoT platform. The LCD provides an immediate alarm using a buzzer. The proposed system uses solar power with battery backup to reduce power consumption. Experimental implementation proves the feasibility of reliable intrusion detection, efficient power management, and effective remote monitoring. The proposed system is a cost-effective, scalable, and energy-efficient approach for modern perimeter security applications.
