We also are glad to all or any the employee members of the Department of laptop engineering of recent horizon institute of technology and Management for his or her valuable time, support, comments, suggestions and persuasion.

Conclusion

We developed a system that works for safety of a private chiefly that specialize in ladies safety. Building region time access system, we offer continuous following of the user. Adding special options to our application we offer a user friendly and simple interface.
