ECE 445 : Keyless Smart Lock (Secured Illini)

Bike lock with real-time tampering detection, keyless features, and sound alarm.

Project Overview

Designed and built a physical bike security device using ESP32 firmware, a custom PCB, accelerometer-based motion detection, Bluetooth controls, Wi-Fi triangulation, and real-time cloud alerts.

Built a web dashboard for live monitoring, location tracking, and theft alerts; an earlier prototype used OpenCV person detection, Google Location API movement tracking, and Firebase-backed notifications.
