Fingerprint-based Security System in Smart Portable Display at Brawijaya Museum

Abstract

The placement of artefacts on display at the museum can be placed on the floor, walls, showcases, or in portable displays. Problems that arise in museums related to artefacts are damage due to lighting factors, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) factors, and acts of looting that irresponsible people often carry out. This research aims to create a portable museum display by implementing a fingerprint-based security system to protect the artefacts. This research used a single case study in manufacturing furniture as a portable display and implemented NodeMCU ESP8266 as a security system. In this research, the author uses a fingerprint reader as a trigger in the system. This study uses the right thumbnail to open the door of the portable display. On the other hand, when the operator is forced to open the door, the operator uses the left thumbnail. The display door will open, and no alarm will sound, but it will send an SOS SMS to the registered number informing that the door is forced to open. The microprocessor will also buzz the alarm and send an SMS if objects fall or are picked up by irresponsible people by breaking glass.
