Abstract
In today’s fast-paced world, where security and convenience go hand in hand, smart automation has become more of a necessity than a luxury. This study proposes a smart home security system that utilizes the combined strengths of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver advanced safety through a dual-factor authentication approach. This system has been developed to recognize and allow entry solely to authorized personnel can access the premises by combining facial recognition with a password-based verification method. What truly makes this solution stand out is its ability to be monitored and controlled remotely, giving homeowners peace of mind even when they’re away. AI plays a vital role by enabling real-time face detection and recognition guaranteeing rapid and accurate identification. upon identifying a breach, the system goes a step further— capturing a short video of the suspected intruder and instantly emailing it to the homeowner. If the system senses any tampering, such as attempts to break the lock or damage the setup, it immediately triggers an alarm to alert nearby residents. This intelligent, responsive approach brings together technology and practicality to redefine the way we secure our homes.
