Abstract: For colleges where security is vital and access to certain areas of campus must be controlled & monitored, there should be some access control system that allows college administration to manage and monitor all access points & locks centrally and remotely, allowing for auditable security & quick responses to any security breaches. Campus Access Management System (CAMS) via Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) allows only authorized persons i.e. student, teacher or an employee to enter a particular area of the college campus. The authorized persons are provided with unique RFID Tag & its PIN code, using which they can access that area. The system is designed using Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) Microcontroller MICROCHIP-16F877 and comprises of RFID module (Tag+Reader), Keypad for entering access code an (Liquid Crystal Display) LCD module for displaying “name” of the authorized person & a relay for opening the door for him. For an unauthorized person door remains closed and buzzer alarms with indication as “invalid card” on LCD Display [1]. The data from RFID reader is transmitted to a Centralized Remote Computer or Server located in the administrative office of the college through a RS-232 interface. The centralized server determines the authorization & access control rights. The entire program code is written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Software.
