Capturing Smoker in Non-Smoking Room

In developing countries legal actions regarding violations of smokers in non-smoking areas are still weak. This will be very disturbing especially those who care for their own health. Eastern cultures are generally reluctant to treat smokers who violate the rules directly. Therefore, other methods are needed, such as creating a set of cigarette smoke detection systems that can warn smokers not to do it in a place that is forbidden to smoke. This device is expected to detect cigarette smoke, then at the same time take photos of suspected smokers as evidence of violations. Warnings will be carried out by authorized persons, if the alarm signal of cigarette smoke is not also heeded. The device consists of NodeMCU, MQ-2, piezo speakers, and ArduCAM OV2640. When the device detects cigarette smoke, it will push a beep sound, capture images of the room, and immediately send images to the Cloud database. A few moments later the mobile phone supervisor of the room will get a proof of the incident and immediately take an action to reprimand and arrest the perpetrators. The testing of cigarette smoke detection devices was carried out in a cardboard room with a volume of 50cm x 50cm x 75cm. Detection was carried out at 4 different points from the source of cigarette smoke each of 6 x experiments or 24 x experiments. It was found, that the speed of detection of cigarette smoke was achieved on average 14.4 seconds with the device located above the source of cigarette smoke (75cm).

Abstract

In developing countries legal actions regarding violations of smokers in non-smoking areas are still weak. This will be very disturbing especially those who care for their own health. Eastern cultures are generally reluctant to treat smokers who violate the rules directly. Therefore, other methods are needed, such as creating a set of cigarette smoke detection systems that can warn smokers not to do it in a place that is forbidden to smoke. This device is expected to detect cigarette smoke, then at the same time take photos of suspected smokers as evidence of violations. Warnings will be carried out by authorized persons, if the alarm signal of cigarette smoke is not also heeded. The device consists of NodeMCU, MQ-2, piezo speakers, and ArduCAM OV2640. When the device detects cigarette smoke, it will push a beep sound, capture images of the room, and immediately send images to the Cloud database. A few moments later the mobile phone supervisor of the room will get a proof of the incident and immediately take an action to reprimand and arrest the perpetrators. The testing of cigarette smoke detection devices was carried out in a cardboard room with a volume of 50cm x 50cm x 75cm. Detection was carried out at 4 different points from the source of cigarette smoke each of 6 x experiments or 24 x experiments. It was found, that the speed of detection of cigarette smoke was achieved on average 14.4 seconds with the device located above the source of cigarette smoke (75cm).
