To study the working of a simple burglar alarm

Burglar (or intrusion), alarms are systems

designed to detect unauthorized entry into
a building or area. They consist of an array
of sensors, a control panel and alerting
system, and interconnections. Sensors
detect intruders by many methods such as
monitoring door and window contacts, by
passive infrared motion detectors,
ultrasound, vibration, electric or magnetic
fields, or microwaves. Sensors may be
directly wired to a control panel that
provides sensor power, or may
communicate wirelessly.
Burglar alarms (or perimeter security systems, perimeter detection
systems, Perimeter protection, intrusion detection systems and
other terms for the same thing) are used in residential, industrial, and
commercial properties for protection against theft or
property damage.

Theory
What is a burglar alarm?
Basically, the burglar alarm is a device that monitors
the designated area or areas to detect the presence of
suspicious elements. The system takes the help of the
sensor to detect such elements. Once found, the
system sends emergency signals to the user or to the
monitor station if the user so intends.

How the entire system works?

The work of the home security system begins with the
sensors and motion detectors. These devices are
installed in different places that they monitor in their
own ways. However, they send emergency signals to
the control panel once they detect something that
surpasses their tolerance level.

Materials Required

1. An appropriate circuit diagram was made which

showed the appropriate placement of
components.
2. The circuit was completed with the appropriate
application of LDR.

A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR)

or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor.
The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with
increasing incident light intensity; in other words,
it exhibits photoconductivity.

The burglar alarm circuit is made in accordance

with the circuit diagram which uses an LDR and
buzzer and thus a high pitch frequently varying
sound is produced. It can be used in different
ways depending upon the requirement.

It can be used in many ways:

1. It can be used as a siren in the police vehicles,
fire brigade vehicles and ambulances as it attracts
the attention of the people on the road
immediately.
2. It can also be used as a security system in
banks and other such places to alert the police.
3. It can also be used as a part of a burglar alarm
system as its frequently varying high pitch sound
grabs the attention of the nearby people as well
as alerts the burglar.
4. It can be used as a call bell.
5. It can be fitted in the vehicles of the VIPs.

1. All the plugs and connections should be neat,

clean, and tight.
2. All the components should be working and
checked.
3. The current source should be adjustable.
