 LASER SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this article to make a laser light security alarm and it can also be used as a home
security system. The essence of this project is that anyone can make it at home to save their
home from thefts..

ABSTRACT

Laser based Security System is a type of security and alarm system that uses laser light and
a light sensor. A security system protects our homes, offices, banks, lockers etc. from
intrusion and unauthorised access. There are different types of security systems available
and laser based security system is an important and efficient type.

A Laser security system can acts as a standalone system, which makes some sound or
noise when it detects any irregular activity, or can be part of a much bigger security and
home automation system, which can send messages, call the owner etc.

In this project, we have designed a simple DIY lased based security system, which acts as
a tripwire like security system and triggers an alarm when the laser in interrupted.

INTRODUCTION

Give a brief description of the application addressed in the project.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENT/DESCRIPTION

LDR, LED, BC547 Transistor, 100k ohm Resistor, 9v Battery, Buzzer and Breadboard

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

3
WORKING
1. This circuit is based on LDR, a variable resistor in which the resistance varies according
to light intensity falling on it
2. The LDR and Resistor forms a potential divider network, which is the main part of our
security alarm system
3. The voltage drop across the LDR is used to drive the transistor switch. When the voltage
drop is above cut in voltage the transistor is turned ON.
4. LDR has low resistance in presence of light and high resistance in absence of light
5. In our security alarm, a laser is allowed to fall on the LDR continuously.
6. Light from the other sources should not be allowed to fall on LDR
7. In this situation resistance offered by LDR is too low, since the laser light is continuously
allowed to fall on LDR surface.
8. Thus the voltage drop across the LDR is also low which is insufficient to turn ON the
transistor, so the transistor remains OFF.
9. When a person makes a block to continuous flow of LASER beam then the light falling
on the LDR gets blocked. Thus its resistance increases to high value
10. While resistance increases the voltage drop also increases, when this voltage drop
exceeds the cut in voltage of silicon transistor it will turn ON.

CONCLUSIONS

1) Home security is rapidly growing field and there are new & improved burglar alarms
popping up every day.
2) With rapid advancement of technology the field is turning out to be an area full of
scope and new changes can be made to make it’s more efficient.
3) It has years to come, because security is of prime importance to one and all.

APPENDIX

LDR

A photoresistor (or light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photo-conductive cell) is a light-

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

LED

LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes. They are super compact and do not emit heat ; most
commonly used in emergency lightings, automotive tail lights.

BC547 TRANSISTOR

5
 BC547 is an NPN bi-polar junction transistor. A transistor, stands for transfer of
resistance, is commonly used to amplify current. A small current at its base controls a larger
current at collector & emitter terminals.

100k OHM RESISTOR

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical

resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current
flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among other uses.
●

9V BATTERY

A battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external

connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and
electric cars. When a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode
and its negative terminal is the anode.

BUZZER

6
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical,
electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers
include alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or
keystroke
