Biometric face authentication system for secure smart office environments

Abstract

<span>The use of the smart office concept in security has increased significantly recently. One of the areas of concern is the use of facial finger biometric technology for authentication systems, for example, authentication to enter a particular room in an office. This paper aims to describe a new prototype for office door automation and security that combines facial biometric technology and NodeMCU. Hopefully, this system will help increase the safety and comfort of office employees with easy installation and low cost. This system automatically controls (opens or closes) the door based on the biometrics of the user’s face registered in the database on the NodeMCU microcontroller. The main system comprises a NodeMCU microcontroller, face sensors, and a door lock system.</span>
