Internet of Things (IoT) is an associate in nursing an ever-growing network of smart and functional objects. It refers to the physical objects capable of exchanging information with alternative physical objects. Nowadays, safety and security have always become a necessity for urban society. Our project proposes a security system for the IoT environment that prevents intrusion in Home, Bank, Airports, Offices, University, or any location with the security system. The primary goal of our project is to reduce human work by designing and implementing a security system that offers control through a handheld mobile phone and PC by employing IoT and cloud-based services to manage the cost of the setup. To detect malicious activity or privacy violation, we propose an Unauthorized Human Entry Detection system (UHEDS), which detect any intrusion or breach and typically report to the homeowner. The project includes an Anomalybased technique for unauthorized entry detection and signature analysis using face recognition algorithm running on AWS cloud to differentiate between an authorized person and intruder and thus improving accuracy in authorizing the legitimate person and provide access to the private/personal zone, thereby reducing risk of sending false alerts/alarms.
