Smart Homes Automation System Using Cloud Computing Based Enhancement Security

Smart home automation is one of the prominent topics of the current era, which has attracted the attention of researchers for several years due to smart home automation contributes to achieving many capabilities, which have had a real and vital impact on our daily lives, such as comfort, energy conservation, environment, and security. Home security is one of the most important of these capabilities. Many efforts have been made on research and articles that focus on this area due to the increased rate of crime and theft. The present paper aims to build a practically implemented smart home that enhances home control management and monitors all home entrances that are often vulnerable to intrusion by intruders and thieves. The proposed system depends on identifying the person using the face detection and recognition method and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a mechanism to enhance the performance of home security systems. The cloud server analyzes the received member identification to retrieve the permission to enter the home. The system showed effectiveness and speed of response in transmitting live captures of any illegal intrusive activity at the door or windows of the house. With the growth and expansion of the concept of smart homes, the amount of information transmitted, information security weakness, and response time disturbances, to reduce latency, data storage, and maintain information security, by employing Fog computing architecture in smart homes as a broker between the IoT layer and the cloud servers and the user layer.
