IV. COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

A. POWER SUPPLY:
Each and every device must be given with a
power, but in this we are using a supply of 5V-2A which
will be given to Raspberry pi which will act as a power Fig 5: LDR
supply for other components when they are interfaced PIN CONFIGURATION:
with it. VCC: 3.3V
Ground: GND
Output: GPIO Pin 21
D. MOTION SENSOR:
PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost
always used to detect whether a human has moved in or
out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive,
low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that
reason they are commonly found in appliances and
gadgets used in homes or businesses. They are often
referred to as PIR, "Passive Infrared", "Pyro-electric", or
"IR motion" sensors.

B. RASPBERRY PI:
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the third
generation Raspberry Pi. This powerful credit-card
sized single board computer can be used for many
applications and supersedes the original Raspberry Pi
Model B+ and Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. Whilst
maintaining the popular board format the Raspberry Pi 3
Model B brings you a more powerful processer, 10x
faster than the first generation Raspberry Pi. Fig 6: Motion Sensor
Additionally it adds wireless LAN & Bluetooth PIN CONFIGURATION:
connectivity making it the ideal solution for powerful VCC: 5V

F. RFID:
The MFRC522 is a highly integrated reader/writer
for contact less communication at 13.56MHz. The
MFRC522 reader supports ISO 14443A / MIFARE mode.
The MFRC522’s internal transmitter part is able to drive
a reader/writer antenna designed. to communicate with
ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE cards and transponders
without additional active circuitry. The receiver part
provides a robust and efficient implementation of a
demodulation and decoding circuitry for signals from
ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE compatible cards and
transponders.

 3280 (H) x 2464 (V) Active Pixel Count
 Maximum of 1080P30 and 8MP Stills in Raspberry
Pi Board
 2A Power Supply Highly Recommended
H. FINGER-PRINT SENSOR:
R308 is a separate fingerprint reader, used high
speed special DSP as core parts, compatible different
fingerprint sensor. It is an intelligent module which can
freely get fingerprint, image processing, verified
fingerprint, search and storage, and it can work normally
without upper monitor’s participatory management.
Fingerprint processing includes two parts: fingerprint
enrollment and fingerprint matching (the matching can be
1:1 or 1:N). Enrolling fingerprint, user needs to enter the
finger 2-4 times for every one finger, process finger
images with many times, store generate templates on
module. When fingerprint matching, enroll and process
verified fingerprint image and then matching with the
module.

Sensors are interfaced with Raspberry pi and then

Fig 11: TTL Serial USB
One of the tools we use most when debugging our
projects is serial input/output. Serial is very easy to
implement, and it allows you to send/receive any data
you need from your microcontroller to a computer's serial
port so it can be viewed using a terminal emulator. These
two devices are compatible from a software perspective;
VI.
however you can't just hook a microcontroller up to a
computer because the hardware interfaces are not
compatible.

through Pi it is linked to the server and finally to the
Raspberry pi.
Software’s like PuTTY, WakeMeOnLan are being
used. The OS of Raspberry pi is Raspbian OS. Python is used
as a programming Language. Camera is streaming using
OpenCV.
If the LDR Sensor’s value exceed the limit then the
system would automatically Switches the light off. Using
Motion Sensor the fan operation is controlled.
Finger-Print, RFID helps for automatic attendance, the
Face detection also does the same, also when unknown faces
are detected an alert is created.
Fire sensor gives fire alert and when fire alert is
detected, water is pumped out helps to off the fire.
Camera does both surveillance and Face detection. All
these data’s are stored in the website and can be viewed
regularly by end user.
Through the monitor video can streamed both online
and offline.

VII. CONCLUSION
Thus an efficient system is designed and
which helps students and teachers in many aspects.
It also helps the Head of the school to locate
the strength of the class, teaching methodology and
many n=more. It is treated as a smart classroom.
The website can be viewed from anywhere
around the world.
In future an android application can be
developed which helps the head to use it more
efficiently.
