Home Security System

摘要

One of the most prominent applications of Internet of Things is in the Security Sector. IoT is a remarkably mind blowing technology which uses the natural environment as its input. And later gives suitable outputs to modify the physical environment. It makes use of internet to monitor, alter and control devices. These devices can be connected to the internet. Sensors are the key devices that act as a gateway between the physical and virtual world. Thus by the click of a button the environment can change according to the user's needs. By using IoT the user can control more than one device simultaneously. This is done using a comfortable GUI over the internet. Home security is a very effective application of IoT. It is important to arrive at a unique low cost solution to handle and alter the surrounding environment according to the needs of man. This also includes ensuring the safety of one's abode. Therefore this paper highlights the focal point in the development process of the Home Security System. This security system assists in presence detection, identification and authentication. This system makes use of arduino. The proposed system makes use of USB Webcam to click pictures of any person that comes in front of the door and compares the image with the one already present in the database. The proposed system uses IR sensor to sense the presence of a body in front of the camera.
