Smart Security System & Home Automation Using IOT

SECURITY” is one of the most important necessity of our life. This project is based on the OCR “Optical character recognition” technology. In this project, the car number plates will be scanned using the OCR. For the Car number plates reading we will be making our own image processing application in visual basic .net“ VB.net”. The scanned numbers will be then compared with the pre-defined numbers and then display the car owner information and open and close the entrance accordingly using the electronic lock. On the hardware side, the Arduino Uno will be used for controlling the door lock. The Arduino will do serial communication with the computer/laptop application. Optical Character Recognition ( which is also known as the optical character reader, OCR) is the technology used for reading/scanning the text images, or any sheet or paper on which the text is written. In this project, we will be using the same concept. We will be using a camera to scan the number plate in real-time and then we will compare the scanned number with the predefined numbers stored in the program.
