Project
Motion-Activated Alarm System
Kit Requirments:
 PIR Motion Sensor
 Arduino Board
 Breadboard
 Jumper Wires
 Resistors
 LED

This project is a motion-activated alarm system using an Arduino, a Passive Infrared (PIR)
motion sensor, an LED, and a piezo buzzer. Here’s an overview of each component's role and the
project's purpose:
Purpose of the Project
The primary function of this project is to detect motion and trigger an alert. When the PIR sensor
detects movement, it:
 Turns on the LED to visually indicate motion.
 Activates the buzzer, which produces a sound as an audible alert.
This setup can serve as a basic security or notification system that alerts you when someone
enters a monitored area.
Components and Their Roles
1. PIR Motion Sensor: Detects infrared radiation (heat) changes in the environment. When
it senses motion (such as a person or animal moving in front of it), it outputs a HIGH
signal.
2. LED: Acts as a visual indicator for motion detection. The LED lights up whenever
motion is detected.
3. Piezo Buzzer: Produces a sound when motion is detected, serving as an audible alert to
draw attention to the motion.
4. Arduino: Controls the system by reading the PIR sensor’s output and activating the LED
and buzzer based on the sensor's readings.
How It Works
1. Calibration: When powered on, the PIR sensor goes through a calibration period
(handled by the initial delay in the code) to stabilize its readings.
2. Motion Detection: After calibration, the PIR sensor constantly checks for motion.
3. Alert Activation: If the PIR sensor detects motion (outputs a HIGH signal), the Arduino:
o Turns on the LED.
o Activates the buzzer at a high volume for a brief period, followed by a lower
volume (providing a pulsing effect).
4. No Motion: If no motion is detected, the LED and buzzer remain off.
Possible Applications
 Home Security: Placing this at entry points to alert you if someone enters a restricted
area.
 Visitor Notifier: Could be used at a store entrance to notify staff when a customer enters.
 Animal Detector: Useful in detecting pets or animals in a specific area, like a backyard.
DOCUMENTATION

First ready all the components you need such as the PIR Motion Sensor, Arduino Board,
Breadboard, Resistors, LED and Jumper Wires.
Put a jumper wire to your PIR Motion Sensor and ready to connect it to the board.
Connect the 5V of the Arduino on the positive of the breadboard and connect the GND of the
Arduino on the negative of the breadboard.
Then connect the PIR Motion Sensor that you prepared earlier, use a resistor at the end of the
resistor connect the output area of the PIR, and the GND connect it to the board that is connected
to the GND of the Arduino, then put the VCC area to the board that is connected to the 5V of the
Arduino. Also connect the other end of the resistor to pin 2 of the Arduino.
After that connec your speaker. Put the red wire on the board and connect it with jumper wire to
the pin 3 of the Arduino then connect the black one to the negative of the board which is
connected to the GND of the Arduino.
On the last part all you need is to connect the LED to the Arduino. You will need a resistor on
your board that will light up the LED. Each end of the resister should be connected to the
negative of the LED and the other end should be connected to the negative on the breadboard
that is connected to the GND of the Arduino. Then connect the positive side of the LED to pin 4
using jumper wire.
Then after you assemble your project connect the Arduino with the USB Cable then go to the
Arduino Application that you can download free on the chrome. Now this Arduino Application is
where you will need to code your Arduino base on the function you want it to do on each
component.
Steps:
 Download the Arduino App on your PC.
 Open the Arduino and Download on the Library the type of your Arduino.
 After that you can now type the code for your Arduino.
 Then click the upload button so the data will be transfer on your Arduino.
 Then you can test the project.
