There are situations where we may need to provide door access to people when we are away from our home. For example, while working at office, if you want to provide access to a plumber, then remote door access to be provided. By using our proposed work we can monitor our home from remote places and also we can have door access options. An embedded web server is used for the purpose of remote monitoring and control. The system for remote monitoring and control for door access is developed using Raspberry Pi embedded web server. The other components include Passive Infrared sensor (PIR), DC motor and Raspberry Pi camera module. Based on the PIR sensor and camera input, the secure access to the door for any person can be given through remote access. The access to the door can either be provided through application or the concerned web page. Both the application and the web page are password protected. The application is developed as an Android application and it can be installed in any android mobile phone. The web page is developed using PHP which is used as embedded server-side scripting language. After verifying the password the access to control the door is provided. This operation can be used in wide applications where physical presence is not possible all the time.
