Construction of Automatic Door Bell System

with the Object Detection


The automatic door bell system is an attractive and much useful circuits in our day to day life.
Generally, most of the house owners are using the doorbells. If the visitor comes to the house,
first he/she searches for the doorbell. If the house owner is using the automatic doorbell system
with the object detection, then the visitor need not to search for the switch of the door bell.
Automatically, the sensor will sense the object or the person, hence, the sound will produce at
the door. This circuit is very useful for the shorter persons, if he/she can’t press the doorbell
switch, then the circuit will automatically sense the person and produce the sound.

Circuit Diagram of Automatic Door Bell Using Object


Detection:
Circuit diagram:-----

This circuit operates using a pair of ultrasonic transmitter and receiver modules which
are used to detect the person and then if the person is detected, the door bell is
automatically turned ON when the person is in-front of the door.

The ultrasonic transmitter operates at a frequency of about 40 Kilo-Hertz. That means it


continuously transmits the ultrasonic waves of about 40KHz. The power supply should
be moderate such that the range of the transmitter is only about one or two meters.

If the transmitting power is less than one meter, then there is a chance that the person
who is one meter away is not detected. Also, if the range is set to be very large, then it
may lead to false triggering, meaning that, the objects far away from our door are
considered as the visitors and the alarm rings. This can be a nuisance for us if the alarm
rings for every object or person far away. So, to avoid both the problems, the
transmitting power is kept to an optimum level.

The ultrasonic receiver module receives the power at the frequency same as that of the
transmitter’s so that noise will be eliminated and we get less false triggering. The
sensitivity of the receiver can be tuned by using the 500K-ohm variable resistor
arranged as a pot in the circuit. By tuning this properly, we can achieve the desired
results. The output of our circuit is given to a buzzer circuit which acts as a doorbell in
our case. The receiver in this circuit uses IC LM324 which is internally has four op-
amps. Out of the four op-amps, we are using only four of them and leaving the other
one unused as it is not much required in our case. The three op-amps are used in
cascaded arrangement to provide high gain as well as noise free output.
An opto coupler is used at the output to avoid any interaction between our circuit and
the door bell.

Assemble the circuit on a PCB as compactly as possible and then attach it to your main
door. Thats it! You may provide a power supply using a 9V DC adapter with filtered and
regulated output. If the 9V adapter with regulated output is not available, then we
recommend you to use a 12V unregulated DC adapter with 7809 voltage regulator.

Applications of Automatic Doorbell System

Some general applications of the automatic doorbell system are fire engines, in


telephone, railroad crossing. Fire, school bells and alarm in industrial plants etc.

Advantages of Automatic Door Bell

 The house owner can open the door very quickly


 It is very helpful for short people

Advantages and disadvantages of wireless doorbell


A wireless doorbell does not accept affairs that altercation the installation. Accession is now simple.
Installing the wireless doorbell is as simple as removing the installed active doorbell and putting on
batteries on the wireless doorbell and agreement it to its location. Also, the wireless doorbell is
portable; it can be confused wherever the homeowners like it to be placed. This would be actual
accessible for approaching adjustment or refurnishing of the house. 
Wireless doorbell is added able over Active Doorbell. 
There are so abounding hindrances in installing active doorbell that are surpassed by wireless doorbell.
Wireless doorbell can be placed in places area active doorbell cannot reach. Also, wireless doorbell is
able and added acceptable on accommodation and busy homes. This is because, if the one who rents
the abode or accommodation is traveling to transfer, he/she can yield the wireless doorbell and abode
it on his/her new rented/leased house. 
Expansion is not an affair on wireless doorbell. 
Wireless doorbell nowadays posses able transmitters which could baby the charge of distances that
active doorbell cannot solve. At present, versions of wireless doorbells are able for homes while ample
homes or multi-floored homes could use continued ambit wireless doorbells that abide in the market.
These doorbells accept ranges that could ability above what approved doorbells could reach. May it be
few meters or even kilometers abroad from anniversary other, as continued as the wireless doorbell is
able of accouterment this distance, the wireless doorbell will absolutely amuse the homeowner. 
Signal Arrest is an affair with cheaper models. 
Signal arrest is a botheration on wireless doorbell. For cheaper wireless doorbell, if triggered by some
wireless device, the wireless doorbell will not plan which sometimes could could cause adulterated of
the device. Arrest like car alarms, barn aperture opener, or added wireless doorbell may could could
cause malfunction of your bargain wireless doorbell. However, approved or college end wireless
doorbell has assorted frequencies which acquiesce blocking out of arresting interferences. 
Advantages and disadvantages will consistently be present in every accessory that we use. Decisions
will consistently lie on the homeowner, whether to install or not a active or wireless doorbell. Although
the wireless doorbell is not perfect, abounding humans accept begin it to be absolutely what they are
searching for in agreement of achievement superior and functionality.
