The objective of today’s pervasive computing is implanting a wireless and computational transmission unit into every physical item that individuals need to intermingle with starting from house appliances, refrigerators to a regular chair. This idea of universal transmission also popularly knowns as (IoT) Internet of Things, can leads to the development of innovative origination of the Internet. Internet of things (IoT) environment has made one-step further movement in the way of pervasive connectivity. The application of IoT in organizations, industries, homes, and society has transformed the whole outlook on foreseeing, monitoring, and different phenomena and processes against intrusion or abduction. However, this constant advancement of the internet of things (IoT) usefulness is extremely cherishing; the seeing of its security disputes is likewise significant mainly in the state of pervasive accessibility of the internet The rate of theft and abduction in some parts of the world is increasing by the day; this imbibes fears that become a threat to the peace and economic development of any society nowadays. It is paramount to find viable technologies that will secure the lives of humans as countermeasures to tackle this kind of problem. With the help of the latest development of technology, it is possible to secure people’s lives, industries, schools, organizations, and homes using an alarm security system that will monitor, guide and protect against burglar and abductors and make life easier using internet of things (IoT). This paper will review related works on the security alarm system from its origin, its advancement in technology using internet of things (IoT); challenges faced using the internet in the security alarm system and its impact of installing the security alarm systems.
