Abstract - ATM machine is a great piece of technology used by millions of people around the world. It makes our daily
transactions easier without loading up the banking systems. However, it is important to keep them secure from thefts and
other malicious activities. This work deals with the prevention of ATM theft from robbery, so overcome the drawback
found in existing technology in our society. Whenever robbery occurs, Vibration sensor is used here which senses
vibration produced from ATM machine. Here DC Motor is used for closing the door of ATM when the vibration is sensed,
also a buzzer is also used, once the vibration is sensed, beep sound will occur from buzzer. Furthermore, infrared sensor is
also used to develop the automatic light switching system. The automatic light switching system will lead to energy saving
and efficient energy usage which could benefit every single individual. This system is developed with safety environment,
switching the light ‘ON’ or ’OFF’ during entry and exit. In this paper we have proposed a model for smart security and
electricity saver system developed with the help of Arduino uno kit and sensors.

Keywords— ATM security system, ATM anti-theft system, light control switching, Arduino uno, Infrared System.

gets activated which alert the officials.

Here, also the objective of saving electricity is achieved.

When someone enters to ATM, sensor sends signal to
microcontroller and it sends to LED light, that turns ON.
When the person comes out of cabin, LED automatically

In this work both objectives, security to the ATM and

electricity saving have been achieved through this IoT
inspired proposed model.
