Raspberry Pi: - The flow of the experiment is given below:

-
The raspberry pi is small a debit card size single
board computer.It has central processing unit with
1.2GH and 64/32-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53. It
has an internal memory of 1GB. This Raspberry Pi
consist of RAM, I/O, CPU/GPU, USB hub,
Ethernet, 2x USB, HDMI port, 3.5mm audio jack
and a memory card slot. In this paper we are
connecting the desktop using HDMI to VGA
converter cable. The connection of mouse and
keyboard is given from the USB connection. For this
project we are using open CV software for the face
detection technique. This version of Raspberry Pi is
suitable for this project as the specification matches
with requirement for this project.

VII. CONCLUSION

In this paper, we have designed and developed a

wireless Home Security System through Internet of
Things module and Raspberry Pi version 3. It is an
active system which will show whether the person is
authorized for home or unauthorized. It is a friendly
user interface system. It is easily installable and can
be used anywhere as this is a wireless system. This

The home security system has a long way to go.

As the technologies improving every second, with
time we may have many ways for home security
with more light protocol and less delay in the output.
With upcoming technologies there will be good
enhancement in the computer board as well as the
communication protocols, which will make it
simpler as well as more light and secure.
