Design And Construction Of An Arduino Based Security And Alarm System

The main objective of this project was to ensure a proper security to building against theft or intruder. The need for home security alarm systems nowadays is a serious demand. As the number of crimes are increasing every day, there has to be something that will keep us safe. We are all aware of the high end security systems present in the market but they are not easily available to everyone. We therefore intend to provide a solution by constructing a cost efficient electronic system that has the capability of sensing the motion of the intruders and setting off the alarm. The basic idea behind this project is that all the  bodies generate some heat energy in the form of infrared which is invisible to human eyes. But, it can  be detected by electronic motion sensor. The project involves the use of Arduino, motion sensor, buzzer, LCD display and a simple program. The sensor detect any motion in its permissible range and triggers the alarm. It will also send the signal to Arduino which processes the signal and set off the alarm along with detection message on display. With this system we can easily set up a security alarm in our home for unwanted intruders.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1                                                        INTRODUCTION

We have designed an interesting and cheap home security alarm. This Gadget helps you to protect your house from thieves. In this project we are going to use an Arduino Uno R3 Board, P.I.R Sensor module, LCD and some other components. This Project can either powered with 9V Battery or with U.S.B of your computer.

This is a basic motion-sensing alarm that detects when someone enters the area. When an intruder is detected, it activates a siren. Our body generates heat energy in the form of infrared which is invisible to human eyes. But it can be detected by electronic sensor. This type of sensor is made up of crystalline material that is Pyroelectric. In this project, we are using P.I.R. Motion Sensor Module as an infrared sensor that generates electric charge when exposed in heat and sends a signal to Arduino. According to level of the infrared in front of sensor, Arduino displays the status on L.C.D and start buzzing speaker and glows the L.E.D.A simple program is running on Arduino which checks sensor if anything is moved or new object has been detected.

1.1                                         BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

The need for having 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.

The guard was also susceptible to sleep at times. It was then that home alarm system based upon electronic circuits were developed which proved to be highly reliable and were appreciated by the people as they were relieved from constant monitoring of their homes.

1.1                                                  PROBLEM STATEMENT

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.

1.3                                       AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main aim of this project is to create a comfort in the minds of house owners when they out from their premises without much fear of intruder.

1.4                                             OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

This circuit is designed to alert the user when an intruder enters into the home. If there is any obstacle in front of IR sensor, it generates an interrupt signal. This interrupt signal is given to the speaker to alert the user.

1.5                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

This device functions as an electronics watch dog. This device functions as a major security alarms used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders.

1.6                                              PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

This project proposes the development of security system for form houses and residential houses.

1.7                                          APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

This device functions as a major security alarms used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders . other places this device can be used are as follows:

• Home Security Systems.
• Prisons Security.
• Vehicle Security.
• Broadband alarm monitoring.
• Glass Break.
• Property Theft Alarm

1.8                                           LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

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

1.9                                      SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

• The given system is handy and portable, and thus can be easily carried from one place to
