ABSTRACT

Safe-deposit box is a medium that can be used to store one or more valuable objects. Safes
have a function to protect valuables from theft or robbery. At the beginning of the discovery
of safes, used only in the form of a safety lock. However, as the development of the times
found some features that can be used on safes to secure objects in the safe. Eg fingerprint
detector, or better known by the name of fingerprint, password and buzzer.
Fingerprint is a feature where this feature using the authenticity of a person's fingerprint, in
this case the owner safes. Password is a password that can be input via a keypad. Of course,
this password is only known to the owner of a safe and can be changed periodically. While
the buzzer is a marker of when the safe was forced open by thieves or robbers.Safes used in
this final project is controlled by mikrontroler named Arduino Uno. The program used is the
basic program of the Arduino Uno.

Keywords: Arduino Uno, Fingerprint, Buzzer, Password

1. INTRODUCTION
Safe-deposit box is a storage medium that is normally used to store precious objects
belonging to a person or group. Safes can be placed anywhere: at home, at work, at school
and elsewhere. In particular, a safe functioned to protect valuables from theft or robbery.
Safes must have a sophisticated security system to prevent theft. One method used for
securing the safe by using the keypad to enter a password, fingerprint and buzzer. Both of
these can be combined in such a way so as to protect the valuables contained in safes.

Keypad and fingerprint is the access into the safe deposit box where only the owner or user
can activate it. The owner can choose a password that he wants to get into the safe access
without being noticed by others. While the fingerprint has its own characteristics. Only the
owner who has the authenticity of the original fingerprint on the fingerprint. That makes it
difficult for others who want to open the safe. Other than that, in the safe can also be placed
buzzer that serves as a marker if the safe was forced open by someone else. This further
strengthens the security system safe, the owner of the precious objects will feel safe and
comfortable leaving their valuable things.

3.2. Fingerprint
Fingerprint is a feature that is used to detect a person's fingerprint. Fingerprint is a method
that has now developed a machine with the help of software to populate the data the presence
of a community, group or institution that uses it.

The strength and weakness of a fingerprint is:

a. The Strength of fingerprint

Fingerprint has a price relatively cheaper when compared to other biometric systems. In
addition, each person has a different fingerprint patterns making it difficult for others to break
into systems using this fingerprint.

b. Weakness of fingerprint
Fingerprint can not recognize fingers wet. For users who frequently sweaty hands, will be
little difficulty in using this sensor. Generally, by cleaning the finger, is sufficient to
overcome this problem. When a wet finger scanned, then the water spots will disturb the
pattern of the fingerprint can not be recognized by the fingerprint pattern.

market so that the cost of making the tool can be reduced without reducing the quality of the
device is made.

The first thing that needs to be done in designing an instrument is making a block diagram.
The designing process is usually carried out by each circuit block which refers to the
theoretical basis and adjusted as required specifications. Of each block and then made a
circuit in accordance with their respective functions, in this case also conducted calculation
and component selection. With good design, it is expected to be made a tool that works
optimally and efficiently.

In addition, the design of each block will simplify the measurement process and also to avoid
trouble tracking in case of damage as well as system errors from these tools.
