ABSTRACT

An electronic eye is a photodetector used for detecting obstruction of a light beam. An example
is the door safety system used on garage door openers that use a light transmitter and receiver at
the bottom of the door to prevent closing if there is any obstruction in the way that breaks the
light beam. The device does not provide an image; only presence of light is detectable. Visible
light may be used, but infrared radiation conceals the operation of the device and typically is
used in modern systems. This report describes about the electronic eye and their applications.

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION
ELECTRONIC EYE:
The Electronic eyes are electronic sensors used to detect movement and body heat. When it
detects movement or heat, the sensor automatically closes a circuit and an alarm (security
system) or image capture (camera) is activated. This type of photo sensor works by monitoring
any disruption in the path of light within its field of view. Examples include garage safety
systems, infrared-radiation-based lighting systems, cameras and a number of sensitivity and
security devices.
Electronic eye has much use in this electronic age. Also Known as magic eye. It can be
used as an automatic guest indicator at the door, If fitted on the bottom of the door entrance.
Once it is installed at the door there is no need to install a call bell. It can also be used at homes
or in banks as a burglar alarm.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS:
RESISTOR:
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous
in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds and films, as
well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-chrome). Resistors
are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog devices, and can also be
integrated into hybrid and circuits.
The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common commercial
resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude. When specifying
that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may require
attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its specific
application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in some
precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a maximum power rating
which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor in a particular circuit: this is
mainly of concern in power electronics applications. Resistors with higher power ratings are
physically larger and may require heat sinking. In a high voltage circuit, attention must
sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage of the resistor.
Practical resistors include a series inductance and a small parallel capacitance; these
specifications can be important in high-frequency applications. In a low-noise amplifier or preamp the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an issue. The unwanted inductance, excess
noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent on the technology used in
manufacturing the resistor.

LDR:
A photoresistor or light dependent resistor is a component that is sensitive to light. When light
falls upon it then the resistance changes. Values of the resistance of the LDR may change over
many orders of magnitude the value of the resistance falling as the level of light increases. It is
not uncommon for the values of resistance of an LDR or photoresistor to be several megohms in
darkness and then to fall to a few hundred ohms in bright light.

Circuit symbol:

It is relatively easy to understand the basics of how an LDR works without delving into
complicated explanations.An LDR or photoresistor is made any semiconductor material with a
high resistance. It has a high resistance because there are very few electrons that are free and able
to move the vast majority of the electrons are locked into the crystal lattice and unable to
move. Therefore in this state there is a high LDR resistance. As light falls on the semiconductor,
the light photons are absorbed by the semiconductor lattice and some of their energy is
transferred to the electrons.This gives some of them sufficient energy to break free from the

crystal lattice so that they can then conduct electricity.This results in a lowering of the resistance
of the semiconductor and hence the overall LDR resistance.The process is progressive, and as
more light shines on the LDR semiconductor, so more electrons are released to conduct
electricity and the resistance falls further.

BUZZER:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical,
or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers and
confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

Early devices were based on an electromechanical system identical to an

electric bell without the metal gong. Similarly, a relay may be connected to interrupt its own
actuating current, causing the contacts to buzz. Often these units were anchored to a wall or
ceiling to use it as a sounding board. The word "buzzer" comes from the rasping noise that
electromechanical buzzers made.A piezoelectric element may be driven by an oscillating
electronic circuit or other audio signal source, driven with a piezoelectric audio amplifier.
Sounds commonly used to indicate that a button has been pressed are a click, a ring or a beep.A
joy buzzer is an example of a purely mechanical buzzer.

LED:
A light emitting diode is a semi conductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in
many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting introduced as a practical electronic
component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low intensity red light, but modern versions are
available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
When a light-emitting is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with
electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called
electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is
determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area, and
integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs have many
advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime,
improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs
are powerful enough for room lighting and relatively expensive and require more precise current
and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Lightemitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacement for aviation lighting,
automotive lighting (particularly brake lamps, turn signals and indicators) as well as in traffic
signals Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units many commercial products
including televisions, DVD players, and other domestic appliances.

3.1: WORKING PROCEDURE OF ELECTRONIC EYE:
Fix the LDR to the wooden door or a locker to be protected in such a manner that when anybody
tries to open it, a shadow falls on the LDR and the circuit gets activated and produce a pleasant
sound through the buzzer.
This electronic eye circuit uses NOT gate from CMOS I.C CD 4049. CD 4049 contains 6
independent NOT gate in one package; we have used here (a) one only. NOT gate output goes
high(1) when the input pin 3 is at lower then 1/3rd level of the supply voltage. Conversely the
output goes low (0) when it is above 1/3rd level. So small change in the voltage of pin-2 is
enough to change the level of output (pin-3) from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. The output has only two
states high and low and can not remain in any intermediate stage. It is powered by a 9V battery
for portable use. The circuit is economic in power consumption. Pin 1 is connected to the
positive supply and pin 8 is grounded.
To detect the present of an object we have used LDR and a source of light. LDR is a special type
of resistance whose value depends on the brightness of the light which is falling on it. It has
resistance of about 1 mega ohm when in total darkness, but a resistance of only about 5k ohms
when brightness illuminated. It responds to a large part of light spectrum.
We have made a potential divider circuit with LDR and 220 K resistance connected in series.
We know that voltage is directly proportional to conductance so more voltage we will get from
this divider when LDR is getting light and low voltage in darkness. This divided voltage is given
to input of NOT gate.As soon as LDR gets dark the voltage of input not gate drops 1/3rd of the

supply voltage and pin 2 gets high and LED or buzzer which is connected to the output gets
activated.

3.2: RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The application of electronic eye in the banks, hotels, residential buildings etc.. serves for
security purpose. Hence the development of similar devices is necessary.
