SafeHaven Shield: Arduino-Driven RFID & PIR Home Security System With Keypad Lock

In an era where homeowners frequently leave for work or education, robust security for residences is imperative. Traditional security measures, including window and door locks, present challenges such as key loss and theft, necessitating innovative solutions. The project ‘SafeHaven Shield,’ is an Arduino-driven home security system seamlessly integrating RFID and PIR sensors with a keypad lock. This advanced system surpasses traditional security by providing dual authentication through RFID and a keypad combination, ensuring a fortified defense against unauthorized access. A standout feature is its capacity to swiftly detect intruders using PIR sensors and a Piezo buzzer, immediately alerting homeowners to potential threats. Rigorous testing validates the system's functionality, ensuring reliability in real-world scenarios. Results affirm successful verification and status display using an LCD when entering the house, meeting predefined objectives. The PIR sensor accurately identifies intruders, and the Piezo buzzer provides instant alerts. The study recommends enhancements, including integrating a camera for intruder identification, sending SMS alerts to authorities, and exploring large-scale deployment. The ‘SafeHaven Shield’ stands out for its technological sophistication and practicality in contemporary residential settings, offering a unique, efficient, and reliable solution. This research contributes to the evolving landscape of home security, providing a framework for further exploration and broader-scale implementation.
