In cases of attempted break-in with a wrong code, the app instantly transfers captured images of intruders along with live GPS details to two alternative numbers and an email account.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud Back-end: While the app failed under different AI-driven architectures and methods, Sahay was able to create the application on a cloud-based ecosystem, eventually creating the functioning tool successfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Idea Behind the App<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite having two children working as professional software developers, Sahay did the challenging task himself since both of their schedules were too packed to develop such an app.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been asking them for long that a mobile application helping safeguard people from phone robbery must come into effect. But because of work engagements the children cannot invest time and space\u2026 so I myself have learned how to create an app and I have created on the You tube..
