ABSTRACT

This Raspberry Pi, IoT Doorbell is basically a simple smart Door Bell, which takes a photo of
whoever rings it, and emails it to the specified email address, and keeps all the photos in a folder.
(along with going Ding-Dong).

Hardware is solved by Plug of Webcam into the Rasp-pi, along with your selected network
interface. Then, using the images as a guide (the wiring diagrams + this pinout for rasp pi 1B),
connect your button and resistors to the pi. With the breadboard image, the both wires are the
wires running the the door bell (Project Box with button).

When a person presses the switch or knocks the door , the bell gets rang which is old fashion but
in our project the new thing is when a person presses the switch the bell gets rang and meanwhile
the owner gets notifications through mail with captured image and the message that somebody
knocked the door at particular day and time.

Without internet also the owner gets notified through sms.

INTRODUCTION:

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS DOORBELL USING RASPBERRY PI:

Over the world, IOT (Internet of Things), technologies which were developed for smart home
system are becoming well known. The system is developed by using Supported Mobile
Communication and Safety Powered Functional Smart Door System The proposed system will
allow to communicate between visitors and owners of the house. Video camera system (the
photo of visitors will be sent to the owner of the house), instant message notification and SMS
notification process will be provided. In addition, cloud storage of image data with a high
resolution will be provided using the system With increasing safety and security is-sues, the use
of smart door system increased consistently with the advent of security related electronics, such
as digital door locks, and wire-less home security networks . There are many smart systems
proposed to provide safety and security at home and offices. The system is integrated to the gate
for recognition people.

1.2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

This project is about a smart doorbell notification so that when a guest clicks on the button/bell,
it makes a ring, a camera takes a picture and the admin get the notification on his E-mail with
the picture of Guest and it send normal text message to his phone.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION:

2.1. Steps to install OS:

1. Use “Zapier” to write the raspberry pi OS image file to the micro Insert micro SD card
and format it using SD card Formatter.
2. Extract Raspbian OS file to get image file.
3. SD card.
4. Remove the SD card and insert into the raspberry pi.

2.2. Steps for raspberry pi:

1. Connect micro USB cable to the raspberry pi for power to the raspberry pi.
2. Connect Ethernet cable to the raspberry pi from router which has an active internet
connection.
3. Wait for one to two minutes, as raspberry will be booting after that move onto next steps.

2.3. Steps for setting putty:

1. Open command prompt by typing CMD in RUN window and 1st open the xming .
2. Type “ping-4 raspberry pi.local”, and Note down the IP address which is mentioned in
the command prompt.
3. Open “putty”.
4. In IP address type “raspberry.local”.
5. Click open.
6. Login as : pi@raspberrypi.local , Password : raspberry (can be anything).
7. Type – start lxde.
8. Type – y.
9. Type – vncserver:1.
10. Close putty.
11. Open putty again.
12. In IP address type raspberry.local.
13. Go to SSH-tunnels in source port type and copy the ip address and paste it.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION:

3.1 PARTS/ TOOLS:

Here is the list of parts with approximate prices and links, though you don't need to buy these
exact parts, or you may already own some components.

1. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B :
I have linked Raspberry Pi 3, though any should work, it even has Wi-Fi which
means your doorbell can be wireless. You can also use the other Raspberry Pi Models
also.
And it act as CPU.

2. Wireless Door bell: (Transmitter & Receiver):

(for the doorbell! Wire at the right length for a connection between pi and doorbell)
 10

3. Web Cam :
It is used to click the images when the persons press the doorbell with the help of
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and it send the images to E-mail.

4. SD Card:
It is the memory card which is used to store the data in it.

5. HDMI Cable:
It is the cable is used to installation process of OS at Raspberry Pi 3 Model B by
connecting between the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and laptop.
 11

6. LAN Cable:
It is the cable is used to dump the coding part and it is connected between Raspberry
Pi 3 Model B and laptop.

7. Jumper wires:

3.2 Email Setup

For this program to work, you will have to make a EMAIL account (or use a spare one (that
Gmail) to send the emails to Your Email. Throughout the next steps, I will call this GMAIL
account:
After both software and Hardware
1. Installing and configuring SSMTP.
2. Make sure your repositories are up-to-date.
3. Install SSMTP and mail utilities.
4. Edit the SSMTP configuration file for Gmail.
5. Allow less secure apps to access your account.
6. Two ways to send an text Email.
7. Send an attached file.
8. Capture the image.
9. Inside the C program using the mail command and system function you can send the mail
to the user.
10. The Email arrives.

CHAPTER – 7

CONCLUSION:

This project comprises a raspberry pi IOT based smart doorbell. The experimental results of the
system proposed indicate that it may consist support and secure assistance for safe and secure
life with minimum cost of the system. Raspberry Pi is a strong and reliable embedded system
device for the complex and challenges tasks. Using these technologies in the proposed system
will bring several advantages in providing safety and security for the owner and also comfortable
