The primary goal of the chapter is to modernize the security requirements for smart homes while building a complete home security system based on the internet of things. This system provides better security and dependability at a lower cost when compared to other security systems. Using the registered data to unlock the door increases security by preventing unauthorized unlocking. Security is ensured using two different techniques: first, the user can utilize facial recognition technology; second, they can provide access using a control app. The system provides the user with safer and more secure locking and unlocking technologies than the traditional technique.
TopIntroduction
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a network of connected physical things that can exchange information and communicate with one another without a person's help. Since it enables us to gather data from various sources, such as people, animals, cars, and kitchen appliances, IoT has been formally referred to as an “Infrastructure of Information Society.” Therefore, any physical object that can be given an IP address to facilitate data transfer across a network may be regarded as a member of the IoT system by adding electronic hardware like sensors, software, and networking tools.
The IoT differs from the Internet in that it makes it possible for everyday items with embedded circuits to interact and communicate with one another using the Internet's pre-existing infrastructure. Peter T Lewis first mentioned the concept of the “Internet of Things” in his speech to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1985, and it was then given that name. The IoT has grown significantly since that time. Currently, there are more than 12 billion linked devices, and by the end of 2020, experts expect that number to rise to 50 billion. The IoT infrastructure's real-time information collection and processing capabilities, which rely on accurate sensors and seamless connection, let people make smart decisions. Both businesses and consumers have profited from the development of IoT. By offering value-added services that enhance and lengthen the lifespan of their products or services, manufacturers may gain a greater understanding of how their products are used and how they function in the real world as well as boost their revenue. For a more personalized and effective user experience, consumers, on the other hand, have the choice to combine and control several devices.
Overview
As we all know, automation is taking over every aspect of life. The notion of automation is only one of the amazing discoveries that man, with his intellect, is always behind. As a result, the proposed paper is working to develop a marvellous solution that encourages keyless entry into your lovely homes. Deep learning and the internet of things help make keyless technology viable. Using a Raspberry Pi, this unlocking may be accomplished as a face recognition and smartphone app. The project places a strong emphasis on the concept of smart keyless home security. The most popular locking and unlocking method is the actual key, and it is all mechanical in nature. It is challenging for the resident when the key is lost or stolen. When employees at a company are required to keep numerous keys for various doors, the issue with handling keys gets worse. Therefore, keyless technology is being implemented as a solution to this issue. It is more flexible and practical because it allows users to lock and unlock the doors. The majority of keyless entry locks are just as simple to install—if not simpler—than their conventional equivalents. It gives users the option to remotely lock and unlock their houses, increasing flexibility and convenience.
Importance
It is urgently necessary to modernize our daily items and make them intelligent; also, the moment has passed when we can no longer blindly rely on antiquated and traditional security methods, particularly when referring to our door locks. This will boost convenience and flexibility. Any object needs to be modified and brought up to date by getting rid of its flaws and adding more capability. The system is made more secure by features like Face Detection, smartphone remote access, and often changing passcodes. A smart door lock has become the standard for home security today. Any suspect behaviour is reported to the owner through alerts. A photo of the front door is sent to the owner if someone attempts to open it inappropriately. It increases trust in the owner to be able to remotely unlock a door using a smartphone. The owner can be trusted because the door may be opened remotely with a smartphone.
Problem Statement
The following problem statements apply to the present circumstance and system:
- i)
If the key is lost, the lock must be disassembled.
- ii)
If two or more larger groups of people are using the lock, it is always necessary to physically carry the key or several copies of the same key.
- iii)
If someone breaks into the residence, there is no information or lead.
- iv)
Current home security systems are relatively expensive and geared toward high-end consumers.
