Home security system is an emerging technology that gained much attention recently by homeowners. The conventional hardwired system is easy to install in newly developed homes; however, the existing homes require complex configuration of such systems which involves substantial cost. Hence, a wireless home security system has been an alternative to the hardwired.This paper describes a simple home security system that is implemented using fingerprint biometrics technology.The system is known as BIOmetrics FIngerprint for Home Security (BIOFIHS). BIOFIHS is demonstrated using a prototype that consists of hardware and software components.The hardware includes fingerprint sensors, a microcontroller, a wireless network router, an application server, and a smartphone. For the software, a program is developed to record the fingerprint data and to verify the data on the remote server. All of the components are connected to the home network wirelessly that makes the system easier to implement with cheaper costs.
