Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mobile Phone Detection System intended for deployment in restricted environments such as examination halls, secure meeting rooms, and classified zones. The proposed system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with an NMC5883L digital compass module (HMC5883L-compatible) to detect the electromagnetic and magnetic field signatures associated with active mobile devices. Upon detection, the system triggers an audible alarm via a buzzer and displays status information on a 16×2 LCD screen. Wireless data transmission using the NRF24L01 module enables communication between multiple sensor nodes and a central monitoring unit. The system is designed to be low-cost, energy-efficient, and scalable for multi-zone surveillance. Experimental results confirm reliable detection of active mobile phones within a defined proximity range, demonstrating the practical viability of the proposed approach.
