Smart Home Security System using IoT and Android

Home security have seen lots of changes in recent years. Compared to old and traditional systems, with their complex panels and fewer capabilities. Traditional Door locking system do not provide better security, no remote access, no history of all exits/entries and many more limitations. It’s time to switch to smart. You do not need to worry about the lost key while your fingertip is your pass and your face is your identity. Access security of your house anywhere and keep an eye for security breaches. Why should we compromise with the thing that matters the most- Your Home. This Project is built keeping in mind day-to-day home security issues. We all have a spam visitor everyday who annoys us by ringing the bell everytime. So now it’s time to give him a rest. A simple app installed on your mobile device is now your alert mechanism instead of loud noise making bell. Identify the person at the door and decide his entry yourself on your couch. Isn’t it easy? This Security system comprises of an IoT device i.e. Raspberry Pi and an Android Application installed on any device along with Fingerprint sensor and a camera as the major parts. The Fingerprint sensor read the fingerprint, and allow access if it matches with one in Database while deny in the other case. If the guest is new it sends the notification with image of guest on admin device asking permission to unlock the door and storing fingerprint of guest in Database. The stats of domestic robbery in India is on hike. Number of such cases in Metropolitan city like Delhi alone have reached 4560 in the year of 2016-17 which is then closely followed by Bangalore. This system is a little step to abate such cases in future.
