The problem Smart Defender solves

The smart pepper spray system is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the pressing issue of personal safety in potentially dangerous situations. By seamlessly integrating hardware components like a Raspberry Pi, Arduino microcontroller, camera module, and GPS unit with software through the Gmail API, this technology offers a multi-faceted approach to self-defense. It provides immediate protection through the deployment of pepper spray, while simultaneously capturing a photo of the attacker and recording their precise location. This critical evidence is then swiftly relayed to predetermined contacts via email and phone notifications, ensuring rapid assistance. Furthermore, the system's compact and user-friendly design makes it accessible to a wide range of individuals, empowering them to take control of their own safety. With the potential to act as both a deterrent and a reliable source of evidence, the smart pepper spray system has the capacity to significantly impact the landscape of personal security and contribute to a safer society.
