Abstract
Statistics show that there is an increase in production of cars every year worldwide. Similarly, there is an increase in car theft attempts and carjacking cases worldwide. This paper is meant to increase the user’s situational awareness. The user is able to check for surrounding of the vehicle and judge for himself/ herself before approaching the vehicle. Raspberry Pi is used as the controller in this paper. A Universal Serial Bus (USB) webcam plugged into the Raspberry Pi enables the user to view the images captured in real time by use of an application installed on the user’s smartphone.
