Abirami Ushaa Eswaran Journal on Software Engineering 2230 – 7168 11 2 13 19 Arduino Microcontroller, Monitoring System, Fire Detection System, IoT The aim of the project is to realize the upcoming concept of Internet of Things where every “Thing” will be connected over a network for data acquisition. The acquired data is then utilized for making better decisions in real-time environment. Early detection of fire accidents is very crucial in preventing heavy casualty and damage in any industry. Present fire detection systems employ the method of raising alarm at the site of detection. A smart system can detect fire accident and also take an action or control the output of the system in real-time based on data acquired from sensors. The role of IoT is not just controlling the output of a system in real-time, but to do the same for multiple systems by connecting them all to a centralized server over a network. Since all data is available in a centralized server, they can be monitored and controlled from remote locations. October - December 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
