Today, security and identification of people are greater challenge in the whole world. Fingerprint sensor is one of the tools that have and may have remarkable contribution in overcoming these challenges. In University Technology Petronas (UTP) right now, the staffs and workers are using card to access the building and fill their name in the book for the working time sheet. This application is not suitable while UTP is one of the best universities in Malaysia and provided the most modern building and labs. This application is also notappropriate because it is hard for the administrator to identify which staffs didn't come to the office and to record the working time sheet for the staffs. There is actual need in innovating smart building access control using the fingerprint sensor. The sensor used in this projectwas U.are.Ufingerprint sensor and the softwarewas the BioKit SDK. The database and the related GUI layout interface were created using the Visual Basic and the Microsoft Access. The 5 user's data including names, ID number and all related information plus the fingerprint string were collected by using the fingerprint sensor and stored in the database. To access the building, the person will be examined by pressing his/her finger on the sensor, which will be captured and compared the scan's picture with the stored string data. Upon this comparison the sensor will gives electrical signal, which confirmed or rejected the person fingerprint template. Then the electrical signal was sent to the circuit to activate the locking system of the door. According to it, the door will open or remain close, while the detail information including the time is displayed, saved and be ready for administration officer to check.
