Abstract

The increasing incidence of minors accessing hazardous indoor areas—such as staircases, balconies, and rooms with sharp objects—raises serious safety concerns, often due to insufficient parental supervision. This study proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based automatic door lock system to enhance child safety in home environments. The system integrates dual ultrasonic sensors for distance and height detection, a KY-037 sound sensor, and an ESP32-CAM for real-time video monitoring, all accessible via a web interface. A key novelty lies in the integration of multi-sensor spatial awareness with live surveillance, enabling automated control and proactive safety features. Tested on ten children aged 4 to 6 years, the system achieved a 90% success rate in locking the door when a child under 120 cm approached within 1 meter, with an average response time of approximately 2 seconds. A sound-based alarm is also triggered when noise levels exceed 120 decibels, serving as an emergency alert. However, a 10% false negative rate was observed when children were detected at distances of 1.3 to 1.5 meters, suggesting the need for further sensor calibration. Overall, the system demonstrates strong potential as a scalable and cost-effective smart home safety solution, combining automation, real-time monitoring, and child-specific access control. Future work should focus on improving detection accuracy and extending functionality for multi-object scenarios.
