IoT and Fingerprint Based Door Looking System

Abstract

This project presents a door locking system which suggests two ways for unlocking a door using Internet of Things (IoT) and Fingerprint. Most of the major door lock security systems have several loopholes which could be broken down to gain access to the desired places, and it creates a concern for a secure lifestyle and proper working environment. People can access Internet services by using their cell phone, laptop and various gadgets. Fingerprint is a reliable biometric feature having a wide range of applications that require authentication. Biometric systems such as fingerprint provide tools to enforce reliable logs of system transactions and protect an individual’s right to privacy. In the proposed system, fingerprints of the authorized users are enrolled and verified to provide access to a facility that is used by multiple users. A user can also be removed and a new user can be enrolled in the system. We have implemented a centralized control system from where we can control who can enter in which rooms and who cannot. This is an Arduino Mega device based. Fingerprints are stored dynamically in a database for computing the different statistics.
