Abstract :This act of pipeline sabotage, stealing remain a great security challenges for both government and people of the affected countries, as this ugly activity usually resulted in a significant loss. Such as economic downfall, loss of human lives, environmental pollution and destruction of aquatic animals. An anti-theft oil pipeline vandalization system based internet of things technology was developed using ATmega328, GSM and GPS to render a remote information monitoring. The prototype was implemented and tested in a lengthy pipeline of 10m with configuration threshold range from 28 to 210. The result obtained contain sensor nodes position in a pipeline network, geographic locations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(longitude and latitude); and distance, which are transmitted as SMS alert to the base station insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BS);. It is expected, that this technology will assists early detection of vandalism of crude oil pipelines and guide the security agent on the exact location of any ongoing theft activities.
