SAFETY SMART MAILBOX FOR APARTMENT

Abstract

A "Security Smart Mailbox for Apartments" is designed to assist clients (recipients) who have problems with misplaced mail or packages while they are away from home. With the online purchasing is becoming popular, most of the delivery is done on weekdays or when they are away from home; while mail delivery was done during business hours. As a result, many clients experience the problem of losing letters or packages when they are out of the house. In this research, the "Security Smart Mailbox for Apartments" was created to facilitate and assist to those who have concerns about losing letters or packages when they are away from home. We have created a security lock on the door to prevent it from being stolen. Although the compartment door can be opened and closed without a key, security elements such as the compartment cannot be carried through the door after the compartment has reached the storage space means that it cannot be easily stolen. We have enhanced our project by deploying the “Arduino Maker Uno” board to get information on newly arrived mail or packages in the mailbox. With this, when a letter or parcel is put into the mailbox that we designed, the sensor can detect and send the information to clients’ smartphone. With that, you can find out about the presence of letters or parcels in it. For any misplaced mail or packages can be solved by the construction of "Security Smart Mailbox for Apartment."
