ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT) alludes to the utilization of resourcefully coherent systems and devices to influence data collected through embedded actuators and sensors in automaton as well as supplementary tangible things. In this present digital era, societal problems like waste management, car accidents, agricultural issues like soil quality, water distribution, child security, etc. are still an open challenge. This chapter mainly concentrates on the child’s security. The child security system includes three processes, namely face capture, face recognition and door detection. In the face capturing process, the face of the unknown person entering into the user’s house is captured and stored in the cloud server. Utilizing the mobile application, the user can keep track of the persons entering his/her house. The face recognition process recognizes the face of a child, and whenever the child tries to exit from the house, intimation is sent to the parent’s mobile. In the door detection module, once a person opens the locked door, a notification is sent on the user’s mobile. In this way, he/she becomes acquainted with, if someone opens the door in the absence of the user. An IoT-based prototype is developed and tested to accomplish the child’s security at home.
