Design and development of a Fingerprint Door Access Control System with a Buzzer Alarm

Abstract

A door access control system using fingerprint a buzzer alarm is proposed to solve confidentiality and security issue is presented in this paper. Several secured access control methods and protocols have been proposed all over the globe; nevertheless all of them have their own deficits. The keys and padlock would have solved the issues of access control but the world at large has overgrown such method because it can be easily manipulated and does not guarantee personal security. This is one of the reasons why the fingerprints biometrics system was employed in most developing countries. The approach to this work mainly involves capturing the fingerprint of different users which will be used as their password to gain access to a secured area. The false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) performance metrics was used to evaluate the system performance and the result shows that the FAR yielded 10% compared to the FRR that gave 20%. The widespread adoption and implementation of the developed access control system will provide a platform to enhance personal safety and high level of confidentiality in door access control system.
