Smart Office Security System Using Face Recognition

Abstract

Nowadays, the security is the most important part of organized every day activities. There is an advanced awareness in the automated home technique by using internet of things. One of the major qualities in the automated home technique is the security. At present, in the prominent places like offices, banks, malls etc. the people are facing lot of security complications. To overcome this and to get needed security, especially trained laborers are required. The level of security is affected by the mistakes made by human beings as a laborer. So, these mistakes can be reduced by using face recognition security system, which can notice the robber to confined areas. There are two type of components are involved in this system. The hardware components consist of Arduino microcontroller, webcam, PIR sensor and LCD display. The face detection and face recognition algorithm are involved in the software component. In the face recognition system, webcam is used to capture the images rapidly, if any motion is noticed by PIR sensor in a specific area. After that in the capture image, the face is detected and recognized. At the end of the process, the images and notifications are sent to the smart phone of an authorized person by using IoT based application. On the other hand, the temperature sensor is used to measure the present temperature and the gas sensor is used to measure the present gas in the office. Finally, all the results are displayed on the LCD display.
