Accelerometer sensor is used to measure any breaking of window & movement of car. When key is inserted, message displays on liquid-crystal display asking the user to enter thumb impression .If the user fails to enter the correct thumb impression in three trials, a text message is sent to the owner’s mobile with vehicle location using GPS. When anyone enters in car, camera takes the photo and sends it to the owner. A steering wheel lock is also used for more prevention. Further the connection to fuel injector of the car is stopped so that unauthorized person cannot start the vehicle anyhow.
