The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to set up smart home security and parcel delivery. Therefore, this work proposed an automated gate system using camera for home security and parcel delivery with integrated Internet of Things (IoT). An automated gate system will capture and identify the image of face visitors and delivery riders for admin authentication to open the gate and parcel box. This proposed work is controlled and monitored through mobile apps. The primary purpose and inspiration of this work are to help the delivery rider put the parcel into the parcel box provided if there is no person in the house, and the owner can pick up the parcel without being broken or robbed when she/he comes back home. When the delivery rider presses the button near the gate, the admin will receive the notification "Someone coming,". The admin will click the "okay" button and the system will take a picture using the camera in Blynk App. After the admin verifies that is the delivery rider, the admin will open the box and the delivery rider can access the parcel door box and put the goods inside the box. Another advantage of this work, it also allows familiar people to access our home. The same process with the delivery rider where the visitor needs to press the bell and the admin needs to verify before the visitor can access the single gate. The result indicates that this work is able to monitor and control the gate and parcel door box using an IoT application.
