Project Title: LASER SECURITY SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
Security is a most important factor today. Technology develops day by day in the world. The
crime gang also improves their technology to perform their operation. So technology of security
should be modern with time to protect the crime works. We decide to make a security project as
our project. In this project we have used laser light to cover a large area. We know laser light
goes through long distance without scattering effect. It’s also visible only at source and incident
point, otherwise invisible. These two properties help us to build up a modern security system,
which may name as “laser security”. When any person or object crossover the laser line the
security alarm will ringing and also the focus light will “on” to focus the entrance of
unauthorized person. We can make a security boundary of single laser light by using mirror at
every corner for reflection. Siren is a device that produces loud noise. They are the means
communication. Sirens can be seen in emergency vehicles such as police cars, ambulances and
fire engines. Generally, sirens are used as indication or warning. There are different circuits to
produce different sirens. Here in this project a screaming siren lights circuit is presented.
Screaming siren lights are those which produces siren depending on the light intensity falling on
the circuit. We can also call it as Laser Based Security alarm as it is a Light Activated Alarm
circuit. The circuit illustrated here is a burglar alarm. LDR is place at such a place that when the
thief enters our house then a connection of beam of light and LDR is disrupted by the intruder
and the buzzer goes off. When a ray of light is interrupted by anything, the LDR used in the
circuit changes its resistance and causes the buzzer to go off, producing a large siren, scaring the
intruders away. Circuit can be easily modified to make the police siren a simple alarming sound.
If once the alarm circuit is on it will still ringing until push the reset button. There is two option
of ringing. One is the duration of ringing depends on preset timer and another reset manually. If
anybody wants to bind a sensitive area with the single ray he has to use mirror at every corner to
reflect it. The system has built with low cost and high performance. The power consumption of
the system is very low.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to develop a modern security system, in which the laser security
uses to ON the buzzer in the case of entry intruders during the absence of the owner. The laser
pointer is used as the source of light beam. If somebody tries to break the laser path, then an
alarm will be generated in a few seconds. Normally laser door alarm circuit will have two
sections. Laser transmitter is a laser pointer readily available. This is powered with 5 volt DC
supply and fixed on one side of the door frame.
 BACKGROUND STUDY
The need for having a constant home protection has always been there. But in the recent times,
considering a dramatic rise in petty crimes like robbery and theft, the need has been more
strongly felt to have a fool proof protection of the belongings and the family members. Home
security has come a long way in the last few decades. It was in the hands of a guard who
manually provided surveillance during nights in the earlier days, but it was not fool proof as it
was only normal for him to have momentary lapse of concentration. This device brought solution
to this need. It ensures adequate protection against intruders.

FEATURES
 Easy installation and low maintenance.
Fully automatic, saves man power.
Consume very low energy and provides flexibility in operations.

FUTURE SCOPE
We can add a keypad to arm or disarm the alarm
We can determine the position of the intruder and then send a SMS to the concerned
authorities.
 Laser Security System can be used in safety lockers in our homes, where even if the locker’s
code is hacked, it acts as an additional layer of security.
 Apart from security systems, this laser based setup can also be used to check if pets or babies
crossed a certain boundary.

LIMITATIONS

The given alarm system determines the presence of the intruder only, and does not determine
how many persons are in there actually.
The alarm activates only when the person cuts through the line of the PIR sensor.

The laser security system works only if the laser is obstructed. If the intruder passes without
obstructing the laser, it is considered as a failure.
In order to secure a larger area, we need more lasers and corresponding sensors.

CONCLUSION
Home security is rapidly growing field and there are new improved burglar alarms popping up
every day. 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 its more efficient. It has years to come, because
security is of prime importance to one and all.
