Design and Construction of Door Locking Security System Using Global System for Mobile Communication (Gsm):- Nwagwu Silas C.

ABSTRACT

This project presents a prototype security door that can be remotely controlled by a GSM phone set acting as the transmitter and another GSM phone set with a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) connected to the door motor through a DTMF decoder interfaced with microcontroller unit and a stepper motor . The design is composed of four main functional modules, namely; the GSM module, the decoding module, controlling module and the switching module. The GSM module act as both transmitting and receiving unit employs the use of a mobile phone set serving as the communication device between the user at one end and the object of access (i.e. the door) at the other receiving end. The decoding module and the controlling module are made possible using modem integrated circuit chips ensuring proper conversion of signal to binary codes, enabling the microcontroller to communicate properly with the switching device responsible for opening and closing the door.
