Overview

We are building a door security system that sends the user a picture when an unknown person tries to open the door. The user will receive a text and be able to interact with the door by responding over text. Our security system includes a red light that illuminates when the user says the visitor is not welcome, or when the user has not authorized entry after a set period of time.

Why this project?

Security in dorms or houses is always a concern, and we hope to alleviate such worries. The increase in dependence on online retailing means more strangers than ever are using your address to find your place of residence. With Smarter Door you will not have to worry about who is at the door. Dorms can also be safer as a red light outside of a dorm will be a sign that an RA or even WUPD should be called.
