LASER BURGLER ALARM

SYSTEM

Laser burglar alarm system is based on the interruption of Laser beam. 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. First one,
laser transmitter is a laser pointer readily available. This is powered with 3 volt DC supply and
fixed on one side of the door frame. The receiver will have a Photo transistor at the front end. We
use photo transistor as a laser sensor.

LASER System
The word LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.These are
available in different types like semiconductor, infrared, Galium Arsenic laser diode. This has an
energy wavelength of approximately 900 nanometers with a beam divergence of 3 million
radians i.e. equal to a beam width small beam width.

FACTS

A home without a security system is 2 to 3 times more likely to be burglarized.

85% of police officials surveyed ,believe home monitored alarms help deter burglary attempts.

The average dollar loss per burglary offense in 2008 was $2,079.

60% of attempted burglaries on homes that have a home security alarm system are unsuccessful.
