Burglar Alarm System Mini Project

This document describes the design of a low-cost home security alarm system using an Arduino board, PIR motion sensor, buzzer, and LCD display. The system is designed to detect intruders based on their infrared signature and trigger an audible alarm. When motion is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the Arduino which processes it and sets off the alarm while displaying a message on the LCD. The system is powered by a battery and provides a cost-effective solution for basic home security.

BURGLAR ALRAM

SYSTEM

OBJECTIVE

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

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.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED

 Arduino Uno

 P.I.R Sensor Module

 L.C.D(16 X 2)

 9V Battery

 9V Battery Clip

 L.E.D

 Piezo Buzzer

 Breadboard

 Some Jumper Wires

 An USB Cable

 A Computer
WORKING

This system is a basic motion activated alarm. It is built around an


Arduino Microcontroller. It is connected to a PIR motion sensor, a
buzzer, a resistor, and a pair of external terminals. The whole system is
battery powered so that it is easily portable. Once you have the code,
you can connect all the external parts. The easiest way to do this is with
a breadboard. This will let you make temporary connections to test
everything out.

Step 1: Connecting the P.I.R sensor to Arduino:

1. Connect Vcc pin of P.I.R sensor to positive terminal of Arduino (5V).


2. Connect Gnd pin of P.I.R sensor to any ground pin of Arduino.
3. Connect out pin of P.I.R sensor to Pin no. -7 of Arduino.
Step 2: Connecting L.E.D and Piezo Buzzer To Arduino

Connecting L.E.D
Connect Positive terminal (Longer Lead) Of L.E.D To Arduino Pin no.
13.
Connect Negative terminal (Shorter Lead) Of L.E.D To Any Ground
Pin.
Connecting Piezo Buzzer
Connect Positive terminal (Red Wire) Of Buzzer to Arduino Pin no. 10.
Connect Negative terminal (Black Wire) Of Buzzer to Any Ground Pin.

Step 3: Connecting L.C.D to Arduino:

To wire your LCD screen to your Arduino, connect the following pins:
LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5 LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
LCD D6 pin to digital pin
LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
Additionally, wire a 10K pot to +5V and GND, with its wiper (output) to
LCD screens VO pin (pin3).
Step 4: Programming Arduino:

1. Download Arduino IDE 1.0.6 from


https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software.
2. Connect Your Arduino to your computer using USB Cable.
3. Open Arduino IDE, choose your correct board from Tools--Boards
4.Choose Your Correct Port from Tools--Serial Port
5. Copy the following sketch which appears in your Web Browser to
your Arduino Sketch Page.
6. Click on Upload Icon or go to File—Upload

Step 5: Drill Holes in the Housing:

Next we need to drill a few holes in the housing so that we can mount all
the parts. Start by using a ¼" hole in one end of the housing. This will be
where we mount the buzzer. Then use a ¾" hole saw to drill a hole in the
other side of the housing. This will be where we mount the motion
sensor .

Step 6: Glue the Motion Sensor and the Buzzer in Place

Apply a small amount of hot glue around the motion sensor where it
lines up with the hole in the housing. Then press the motion sensor into
the hole. Apply more hot glue around the outside and hold it in place
until the glue cools. Then apply a small amount of hot glue to the face of
the buzzer. Align the hole in the buzzer with the hole in the housing and
press it in place. Hold the buzzer in this position until the glue dries.

Step 7: Close Up the Housing:

The last thing that you need to do is connect the battery and close up the
housing.

 Notifies you of fire or gas problems.
 Helps keep tabs on kids.
 Improves electricity management.
 Makes room for peace of

Demerits
 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 primary disadvantage of a home alarm system may be its
expense.
 It is costly to have the system installed in the first place, but
security companies charge a daily or monthly fee to provide
monitoring services as well.
 These fees can quickly add up, so if you are on a budget, it may
put a strain on your finances.

 False Alarm.
 Can be Stolen.

CONCLUSION:
Thus, we have designed a home security alarm system using Arduino

Conclusions: Burglary is the most common cause of properties losses.
Different types of detectors are used, which are far more effective than
human senses, to detect the unwanted changes in the property areas. Too
many types of systems are in use for unwanted change detection.
Computerized system as one of these systems is used. The computerized
systems are more effective than the others, because it is simple, easy to
build, accurate and flexible. Computer controlled fire and intruder
alarming system, is designed to read signals from intruder.
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.
