A Unified Smart Solution for Child Security and Parental Insights

Child safety has become an increasingly important concern in today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, where parents often find it difficult to continuously ensure their children’s well-being. To address this challenge, an Internet of Things (IoT)-based child monitoring and protection system is proposed, providing real-time tracking and health monitoring. The system, developed using embedded C, integrates GPS, temperature, and heartbeat sensors along with GSM and an ESP32-CAM module to deliver both location tracking and live visual updates. The system automatically sends instant SMS alerts to parents or caregivers during emergencies, abnormal health readings, or when the child moves beyond a predefined safe zone. Features such as geo-fencing, a panic button, and data logging enhance the system’s reliability and responsiveness. By combining IoT-based monitoring with proactive alert mechanisms, the system aims to support parental supervision and ensure a safer environment for children in modern lifestyles.
