1) Objective
The objective of Easy Lock is to provide security in addition to saving time and energy when opening a home door in order to reduce the risk of burglaries and home invasions.
2) Background
Due to the high percentage of unsolved home invasions, there needs to be a better solution to increase home security. Traditional locks can easily be picked and are cumbersome to open if people are in a rush or carrying many items upon entering their home.
3) Methodology
The product is made to sense when homeowners are approaching by using an application on the phone. The user will be able to see when the lock has been used throughout the day and the lock will also have a camera on it so ensure safety. In addition to that, it will also have a number pad in case the user is not able to use their phone.
4) Expected results
The Easy Lock will be able to provide more security for the user as they will not lose their keys and a home owner will not be able to sneak into their house because there will also be a camera. The product will also alert the user when the door is opened when they are not home, so the user can alert the police if needed.
5 ) Costs
The lock will consist of keypad ($5), camera ($10), bluetooth/wifi connectivity($10), microcontroler($10), and motorized lock ($15). So, the total would approximately be $50.
