Introduction
The proposed system is an NFC/RFID-based access control system integrated with WiFi communication and a subscription model, along with a portfolio website for monitoring and management.
Problem Statement
- Lack of real-time monitoring
- Poor security and risk of unauthorized access
- No centralized control system
- Difficulty in managing user access based on time or subscription
- Inefficient tracking of entry and exit logs
Growing Need
- Remote access control via internet
- Subscription-based access management (e.g., gyms, offices, hostels
- A centralized web platform to manage users and monitor activity
To address these challenges, a smart access control system using NFC/RFID technology, WiFi connectivity, and subscription management is required.
Key Features
NFC/RFID Authentication
Users can access secured areas by tapping their RFID/NFC cards.
WiFi Connectivity
The system connects to a server in real time to validate users and log activity.
Subscription-Based Access
Access is granted only if the user has an active subscription
Web-Based Dashboard
Admin can manage users, subscriptions, and view logs through a website.
Applications
Offices
Smart homes
Gyms (membership-based access)
Hostels and apartments
Educational institutions
NFC/RFID ACCESS CONTROL
- Verify access using a valid RFID/NFC card
- Verify system denies access for an invalid card
- Verify access is denied for expired subscription cards
- Check system behavior for multiple rapid card scans
- Validate correct reading of card data
WIFI FUNCTIONALITY
- Verify device connects to WiFi network
- Check data is sent to server successfully
- Test system behavior during network failure
- Verify automatic reconnection after WiFi loss
- Validate real-time logging of access data
SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM
- Verify new user subscription activation
- Check access with active subscription
- Verify access denial after subscription expiry
- Test subscription renewal functionality
- Validate database updates correctly
SECURITY & PERFORMANCE
- Verify unauthorized access is blocked
- Check secure data transmission
- Test system under multiple users
- Validate system response time
- Ensure no data loss during operation
This system provides a modern, secure, and scalable solution for access control by combining. NFC/RFID technology,WiFi-based communication,Subscription-based authorization,Web-based monitoring system. It improves security, automation, and ease of management compared to traditional systems.
