Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Modern doorbell communication systems are significantly improved in terms of functionality, security, and convenience by embedded systems. A specialised computer system created to carry out duties or operations inside of a larger system is called an embedded system. Both conventional and smart doorbells depend on embedded systems for proper operation in the context of doorbell communication. These give rise to an entirely new set of specifications for an enhanced and effective system. Features like remote access must be available on these systems.

Among today's constantly changing smart technology and networked systems, the simple doorbell has experienced a significant metamorphosis. Modern doorbells are becoming sophisticated communication and surveillance hubs that improve home security and convenience. They are no longer just a basic signaling device to announce visitors. The demand for more sophisticated features that satisfy our needs for seamless connectivity and instantaneous environment awareness is what is driving this evolution.

Doorbell: The doorbell, which is the main point of contact between guests and residents of a home, is at the center of this change. In the past, all that was needed to set off an audible chime was a push button. But just as technology advances, so do our standards.

The need for doorbells that not only notify us when someone is there but also offer extra features like video monitoring and remote access is rising in the modern world.

Remote Notification: The capacity to send out notifications remotely is one of the main benefits of contemporary doorbell systems.  In a time when privacy and security concerns are more pressing than ever, this helps homeowners keep an eye on their property and spot possible threats. All things considered, the development of doorbell technology is essentially the result of a marriage between necessity and innovation, propelled by our shared need for better home security, convenience, and connectivity.

[2] The following papers' authors are Shaik Mabasa, Abdul Hameed SHAIK, Sadhu Ratna Babu, and Srinivasa Rao Kamini. The paper's writers are trying to provide an explanation of the planning and creation of an intelligent audio message doorbell system. The goal of this system is to meet the growing need for smart home solutions that put convenience, security, and dependability first. They want to build a doorbell system that can wirelessly send data, record voice messages, and help visitors and residents communicate by using a variety of components like microcontrollers, wireless modules, voice recording/playback circuits, and key circuits.

The authors' overall goal is to advance the field of smart residential technology by offering a thorough and creative solution that satisfies the changing demands of contemporary homes for increased convenience, security. In [3] Konda Anusha1, Ashok Kumar Konduru The project's objective is to mechanically operate and keep an eye on household electrical and electronic items. The affordability and convenience of use of home automation with smartphone and tablet connectivity has led to a rise in its popularity. For centralized control and monitoring, dedicated gateways link controllers from Home Automation and Building Management Systems with sophisticated VRV/VRF and split HVAC systems. The suggested technology combines short-range radio networks with an infrared sensor. The paper gives a summary of attack vectors for mobile network security and draws parallels between traditional security work and mobile security.[4] This paper describes the development of a smart home automation system that uses an Arduino board with Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled by any smartphone running the Android operating system. On the transmitter end, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application on the cell phone transmits ON/OFF commands to the receiver where loads are connected, while at the receiver end, a Bluetooth module is interfaced to the Arduino board. With this technique, the loads can be remotely turned ON or OFF by pressing the designated spot on the GUI. Using trials and opto-isolators and thyristors, the Arduino board controls the loads. By attaching test appliances to the smart home automation system and successfully controlling the appliances from a wireless mobile device, the system's functionality was shown in an experimental setting. [5] In their study, Dhruvi Shah, Arushi Doshi, and Brijesh Kumar Y. Panchal Using a Raspberry Pi 2, GSM, and numerous other components, the main goal of the Wireless Remote Controlled Door Answering System is to display the appropriate message to any visitor who rings the doorbell or approaches the door, regardless of whether the owner is present or not. The owner receives notification of the visitor's identification, and the system is managed by SMS messages sent from the owner's mobile device. The owner's suitable message response can be shown on a screen outside the house. The AT Command Set, Python 2.0, Raspbian Linux operating system, and Linux are the technologies employed in this implementation. [6] the authors O. A. Simon, U. I. Bature, K. I. Jahan, N. M. Tahir in their paper in our residences or workplaces, safety has always been a top priority. A home security system that can be remotely operated not only keeps burglars out of the house but also provides a host of other benefits including video monitoring, energy management control, and the ability to arm and disarm alarms. Considering the earliest straightforward security measures, which are mechanical lock systems with keys serving as the authentication component; these were later upgraded to universal types, and lock codes are now unique. The huge application of communication gadgets into our various areas of existence has been brought about by the recent advancement in the communication system. A smart doorbell notification system for homes is being developed in real time. Unlike conventional security measures, security consists of the doorbell interfaced

III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

Our goal is to develop a technology that describes an alarm and security system for homes utilizing an Arduino UNO microcontroller, an APR33A3 audio playback module, an ESP32 camera module for Telegram output, and other circuits for power and key control. This is an explanation of how to create such a system

1. Arduino UNO Microcontroller: This serves as the central control unit for the system. It will interface with other modules and sensors and execute the logic for the functionality you described.
2. APR33A3 Module: This module is responsible for recording and playing back audio. You will need to connect it to the Arduino UNO to control recording and playback based on the system's state (home or away).
3. ESP32 Camera Module: The ESP32 will handle communication over Telegram to send notifications when someone is at the doorstep or when a guest leaves a message. It will capture images or videos and send them as notifications to the homeowner's Telegram account.
4. Key Circuit: This could involve physical keys or electronic keypads to arm/disarm the system. When the homeowner is away, the system should be armed to record messages from guests. When the homeowner is at home, the system should be disarmed to play doorbell chimes and notify the homeowner of guests at the door.
5. Power Circuit: Ensure that all modules and components receive stable power. You might need to incorporate voltage regulation and protection circuits to prevent damage to sensitive components.

The system will operate as follows:

A. Home Mode

The system operates in this mode while the homeowner is present.

The APR33A3 module plays a doorbell chime when someone rings the doorbell, which is initiated by the Arduino.

The homeowner can equip the system with the key circuit if they need to leave the house for a short while.

B. Distant Mode

This is the mode that the system is in when the homeowner is away.

The ESP32 camera module is triggered by Arduino to take a picture or record a video when someone rings the doorbell.

The APR33A3 module records a message when a guest leaf one by being triggered by Arduino.

The homeowner's Telegram account receives notifications from the ESP32 that include recorded messages and pictures or videos of guests.

C. Returning Home

Using the key circuit, the homeowner disarms the system upon their return.

Conclusion

Finally, for improving home safety and communication, this doorbell communication system provides an advanced yet approachable solution. The system effectively handles the homeowner\'s security demands while staying user-friendly and intuitive because to the smooth integration of cutting-edge technology like the Arduino UNO microcontroller, APR33A3 module, ESP32 camera module, and GSM module. Because it can adjust to the homeowner\'s presence, send out timely alerts, and allow visitors to communicate with you in real time using the GSM module, this system is incredibly efficient. Its tech-savvy design makes use of contemporary components to provide residents with remote access and real-time notifications, keeping them informed and always connected.
