ESP32-CAM Smart Anti-Theft Alarm 🚨 | Sends Intruder Photos to Your Phone 📸

Ever wondered how to turn a simple alarm into a smart anti-theft security system? 🚨📸

In this project, I built an ESP32-CAM Smart Anti-Theft Alarm System that not only detects motion but also captures photos of the intruder and sends them directly to my phone via Telegram.

Unlike basic buzzer alarms, this system gives real evidence — images of who entered the room.

🔍 What this system can do:

✅ Detect motion using PIR sensor
✅ Turn on a high-power flashlight in the dark
✅ Capture intruder images using ESP32-CAM
✅ Send photos instantly via Telegram
✅ Sound a buzzer alarm
✅ Arm / Disarm the system remotely
✅ Take photos anytime using Telegram commands
