Multi-Way Door Unlocking Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Security is the main problem in our daily life. Each and every individual person needs to be secure. An access control for the doors of the home or office is very essential in our security pattern. Doors which are locked/unlocked using the traditional locks are not safe as they can be easily broken. Therefore we provide a different way of solution to this problem which could serve full security to our home and other commercial places. Door Locking and Unlocking using Raspberry Pi is one such trial made where we could safe guard the home or any other lock. This system makes use of fingerprint and face detection to unlock doors. The system allows only authorized persons to access the room by unlocking the lock. It makes use of Raspberry Pi which can store the images or fingerprints of persons to authorize. Fingerprints are stored as images. It comprises of webcam which can take photos and fingerprint sensor which is matched with stored data to unlock. The most important and unique part of this model is recognizing an unauthorized user or thief by taking the image and sending it through mail to the admin. If the person is unknown, admin can be able to report it to police in the mean time. Therefore it plays a vital role in reducing the thefts across the country. This programmed multi-way unlocking system will provides users more secure system with minimal effort. The security door lock/unlock automation is an efficient mechanism for the future. The current mechanical door locking system can be replaced by this smart door lock with uses electronics.
