IoT based Smart Doorbell Security System

Abstract

The Internet of Things has expanded and is now being used in electronic devices of daily use because of the developments in technology and connectivity. The concept is to employ a computing device to automatically or remotely monitor the essential functions and properties of these things. Smart home devices are a category of such products that fall under the umbrella of a person's house, and one of them is the Smart Doorbell. The primary concern of a homeowner is safety from intruders or strangers; therefore, smart doorbells may be a solution to alleviate this issue. Depending on the system design, smart doorbells provide a variety of security measures such as biometric authentication, remote access and more. For the smart doorbell, there are a variety of innovative systems and designs. This report presents the design approach as well as the results obtained. The main goal of this project is to create a system that uses an effective security framework developed using well-established algorithms for face detection, liveness detection, face recognition as well as some minor aspects of enhancing security. The other goal is to have low-cost, readily available components so that individuals can build their own smart doorbell security devices by following a similar approach.
