This smart security system is used in a situation to see a visitor when the main door of the office or the organization is closed. The purpose of this system is to control the door lock using Raspberry Pi. In this system whenever a person enters the office door, image of the person is captured by the camera and then the smart lock system will send the image to android application and database. Once the image is uploaded on the android application, an option will be available of either unlocking the door or keeping the door locked. In a situation where the person accepts the permission to enter, the system will open the door but if the person chooses to deny the permission to open the door, door will remain locked. In such a circumstance, the system will display and delivers an audio message which is “Access Denied”.
