In the past few years, trespassing into protected forest areas to smuggle assets of the forests like wood, meat which garner a high value in the market has become a very common site.To secure and monitor acres and acres of widely spread forest area is indeed a herculean task.Therefore, implementing the concept of "Internet of things", a system is proposed that could combat this issue where the environmental crisis is at peak."Internet of things" is a system that interacts through the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday items, allowing them to receive and send data.The system proposed here is to build a framework which can be utilized to limit smuggling.The structure framework utilizes four sensors that are-PIR sensor, temperature sensor, sound sensor and vibration sensor.In addition to the sensors, a PI camera is proposed to the system to monitor actions around the device's perimeter and they are all mounted on Raspberry pi.Information created from these sensors are constantly sent over the network to the officials using a Wi-Fi module over the cloud.
