Design and Implementation of Access Door Control with Mo-bile Alert

Abstract

The necessity for adequate security of lives and properties cannot be overemphasized. Tackling insecurity in an effective manner calls for active computer-based researches and solutions. Essentially a security system is designed to help detect intrusion and prevent unauthorized access. These security threats are tracked by installing various security access doors and alarm systems. Findings have shown that many access doors use either password or biometric form of authentication separately which are easily compromised. This paper presents a two level automated access control for door security with mobile alert system, powered by a 5V, 6000mAH battery. In addition a multi factor authentication using biometrics (fingerprint) and password was also used to enhance access control for this system. A mobile phone call alert and alarm system was uniquely included to this design to notify owners of the presence of an intruder when multiple attempts of incorrect login credentials are presented to the system over a short period of time. The program for the microcontroller was written in C language. This paper concluded that the use of multi factor authentication with mobile phone call alert will help improve the security for access doors used in banks, residential buildings, hospitals, military properties and other institutions and where confidentiality and restrictions are needed.

“…The hardware requirements consist of a microcontroller, sensor modules to input password and key card, servo motor to physically maneuver the door lock mechanism and WIFI module to remotely control the door and the alert mechanism (Nwogu et al, 2020).…”

Development of a two-level parameter access control system

“…The security of people's lives, as well as personal and public property, is a critical issue that must be addressed in this twenty-first century. The evolution of methods has mirrored the progression of human life and technology, developing quickly due to rapid advancements in the relevant technological base, leading to the formation of automatic control as the focal point for device management of protection, and remote alarm systems [2]. This not only reduces material costs, but also minimizes human effort in the pursuit of enhanced security.…”
