ESP32-CAM FACE DETECTION AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK

Abstract

The ESP32-CAM Face Detection Automatic Door Lock System is a modern, AI-powered access control solution that enhances security through real-time facial recognition. This project integrates the compact and cost-effective ESP32- CAM module with a relay-controlled 12V solenoid lock, powered by a 12V battery regulated through a 7805voltage regulator to ensure stable 5V operation. The system provides a smart alternative to traditional lock-and-key mechanisms, aiming to reduce the risks of unauthorized access, lost keys, and forgotten passwords.The ESP32-CAM, equipped with a built-in camera and Wi-Fi capabilities, performs on-device face detection without requiring cloud connectivity, making it ideal for standalone and offline applications. When a registered face is detected, the microcontroller activates a relay module, which in turn energizes the solenoid lock to grant access. This automation not only improves security but also enhances user convenience, especially in environments where quick and contactless entry is desired.
