Development of a Biometric Access Control Using Fingerprint Recognition

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a smart access control system using fingerprint recognition technology to enhance security and efficiency in access management. By employing biometric authentication, the system ensures that access is granted only to authorized individuals based on their unique fingerprint data. This approach offers a more secure and personalized solution compared to traditional methods like keys and cards, which are prone to vulnerabilities. The primary objective is to develop a reliable access control system that accurately grants or denies access based on fingerprint authentication. Users can be enrolled by capturing their fingerprint along with their personal details, and the system compares the presented fingerprint with the stored database to determine access. Additionally, the system includes functionalities for deleting users and securely logging access events. A significant benefit of this project is its ability to log and monitor access events in real-time, providing a detailed record of granted and denied access attempts. This feature enhances security by allowing administrators to track user activity and detect any unauthorized access attempts. The integration with Google Sheets for logging ensures that data is easily accessible and manageable. Overall, this smart access control system has potential applications in various environments, including residential buildings, offices, and restricted areas where security is paramount. By leveraging fingerprint recognition technology, the system offers a high level of security and convenience, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and improving overall access management.
