Keywords:
IOT, Smart Door, Lock System, RFID card, Matrix keypad, facial recognition cameraAbstract
This project presents the design and implementation of a smart electronic door lock system based on the Arduino Mega microcontroller. The proposed system enhances security by integrating multiple authentication methods, including fingerprint recognition, RFID card identification, facial recognition, and password verification, providing users with flexible and reliable access control. The integration of several security techniques significantly improves system reliability, minimizes unauthorized access, and provides greater flexibility than conventional mechanical locking systems. This project demonstrates the practical application of embedded systems and smart technologies in access control and home security. The proposed design offers a low-cost, scalable, and user-friendly solution that can be further enhanced through integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, mobile applications, and cloud-based monitoring systems for future smart home and smart building applications.
