<br/><br/> This study focused on developing a Roving Security Monitoring System using location-<br/>based technology for real-time tracking and management of security personnel. By<br/><br/>integrating GPS tracking and geofencing, the system ensures efficient emergency response.<br/>If security personnel are outside the designated geofence, an automated SMS alert notifies<br/>barangay security for prompt action. The system's hardware includes an ESP32<br/>microcontroller utilizing IoT technology, a SIM800L V1 GSM module for SMS<br/>notifications, and a NEO M8N GPS module for precise location tracking. Arduino IDE is<br/>used for programming, while the front end is developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.<br/>Firebase is the backend for user authentication, database management, and real-time<br/>updates, with OpenStreetMap (OSM) for digital mapping. The system was tested under<br/>different conditions. The GSM module’s response time at 1m, 2m, and 3m was 10.33,<br/>14.33, and 10.66 seconds, respectively, suggesting that factors like signal interference<br/>affect performance more than distance. The GPS module maintained a stable 3-second<br/>response time at 10m and 15m, proving reliability over greater distances. However, in rainy<br/>weather, the GPS response time increased to 8.33 seconds, indicating that rain negatively<br/>affects performance. SMS alerts are only triggered when the vehicle exits the geofenced<br/>area, ensuring accurate perimeter detection. The GPS tracking system demonstrated<br/>realtime accuracy, effectively reflecting actual movement and validating its reliability.<br/>However, battery performance declined over time, supporting initial operation for 5 hours<br/>but requiring daily recharging to maintain functionality. The system was evaluated by fifty<br/>(50) evaluators composed of barangay security personnel, officials, electronics-related<br/>professionals, and experts. It was rated with an overall mean of 4.36 with a descriptive<br/>rating of "Very Good." This indicates that the prototype benefits the community by<br/>improving security efficiency, accountability, and response times, minimizing potential<br/>threats, and enhancing community safety.
