All the family member can go their works without having any kind fear

doors will provide you the notifications about every kind of activities. The
proposed system is connected to the internet all the time when any person
touches the door to unlock the door of house, and a notification will be sent
to the owner including the registered members of the system in the form of

are the keys to explore new theories and make the world more advanced. With the

people had to do their office works manually that was difficult, more hardworking
