Arduino could be a reference to something like a Raspberry Pi microcomputer; you can set these up with sensors to monitor all kinds of things, and trigger actions on specific events; they apparently lend themselves nicely to security systems and robotics applications, e.g. drones. I've not worked with the actual hardware myself, but I almost wish I had the time to get more into it.

First you buy one board (there are more powerfull ones, this is just the basic one)

And then you start programming:

If you have a basic understanding of any programming lenguage then it will be easy to get started.
