The dangers posed on expensive and valuable home properties, industrial resources and human life due to lack of effective security system, call for immediate response in the interest of ensuring that these hazards are averted. With regards to this, this paper aims at providing “A Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)-based security system with emergency control” capable of monitoring, detecting and reporting specific environmental conditions such as fire outbreak and intrusion in our homes, offices and industries once either condition is met. The system in response to fire incident automatically alerts the fire service agents and the user’s mobile phone to intimate them of the situation. The system as well, triggers an emergency alarm in response to intruder detection in restricted areas and remotely informs the owner of the house, away from home, the security agents and fire fighting experts about the intrusion via a GSM platform, in remote places thereby helping in reducing the rampant cases of vandalization which has plagued many nations. The system implementation is achieved using C-language programming software. The result of the implementation shows that a remote user can conveniently detect and control the anomalies that may occur while being away from home or work place.
