IOT and RFID based security system project

Nowadays, security has become one of the main concerns. It is very important for all the offices; banks etc. to have a well-defined security system that would allow only authorized people to enter these places. We have designed an IoT and RFID based security system in which only a person with valid RFID would be allowed to enter the premise.

Project Code: 5180

Detailed description of IOT and RFID based security system:

IOT and RFID based security system use RFID as access control. A person carrying the RFID tag needs to swipe it at the RFID reader. The RFID reader reads the unique RFID number from the RFID tag. The RFID reader then sends the ID details over to the microcontroller.

The microcontroller is programmed to compare the ID number from the swiped card with that of the authorized IDs. If the card number is invalid, the microcontroller sends the signal to turn ON the buzzer. If the card number is valid, the microcontroller sends the signal to open the gate and let the person in.

We have connected a DC motor in the project, to demonstrate the gate. An LCD display is also connected to show informative messages like ‘Please show your card’, ‘you are authorized’, and ‘you are not authorized.’

The microcontroller is also connected to the IOT module. The Internet of Things (IoT) is basically the network of ‘things’ by which physical things can exchange data with the help of sensors, electronics, software, and connectivity. These systems do not require any human interaction. IoT Technology is found in many industries like Healthcare, Energy, Transportation, etc.

Data related to the RFID card is sent to the IOT website, whenever a person swipes a card at the RFID reader. The RFID card number and the time stamp are sent to the website. This can be used as a track record of the people who entered the office/bank etc.

This project can also be implemented without the IOT module. Also, we can use other microcontrollers in place of Arduino Uno.

Technical Specifications

The components that are used in the IOT and RFID based security system are:

1. RFID card reader – which is used to read the RFID card
2. Microcontroller – Arduino – which is used to turn ON the buzzer, send data to the IOT and send informative messages to the LCD
3. 16 x 2 LCD display
4. Buzzer
5. ESP8266

Applications & Advantages of IOT and RFID based security system

• IOT and RFID based security system has a wide range of applications like Banks, Offices, and all authorized entries for staff personnel in malls, and so on and so forth.
• The advantage of this project is that there is no need for any additional security required once this system is installed.
• IOT and RFID based security system can be further enhanced to have a fingerprint reader and can be converted into a Biometric access control system

Video of the project

The video of this project is not available right now, we are planning to upload it soon, meanwhile, you can view the below video from the category IOT-based projects.
