Abstract

This report documents the progress of the project “A Development of Smart Automated Home Security System”. In order to solve the problem of home security systems that are expensive and not comprehensive, a smart automated home security system is proposed. The objectives in order to achieve this final goal are to develop an affordable system, fabricate a working prototype, and test the created prototype as well as compare it against other products on the market. In the system, an Arduino Mega is used as the system controller. The system is divided into two main parts, hardware and software. The hardware portion includes the fabrication of the prototype and the connection of electronic components. On the software side, the Arduino and its components are programmed in a C based code within Arduino IDE. After completion of the prototype, testing is done to verify the performance and reliability of the system. The card and password entry functions are tested and the results of the testing are analyzed. From the testing, it is found that the system is reliable in providing security to a home. During the testing, only the designated RFID cards and the correct password were able to unlock the door. Finally, information regarding competitor products on the market is collected and compared with that of the completed system. Against products of similar features, the completed system has a greater value as it is able to provide the same features at a lower cost.
