INTRODUCTION
A laser security alarm is a tool used for safety. It has several applications in the realms of
security and defense, ranging from the security of basic household items to extremely valuable
organizational assets. They were formerly expensive solutions to security issues. This type of
security system is becoming more accessible due to cost-cutting measures and rapid technical
improvements.
There are a few key ways in which lasers are distinct from other light sources. Two
characteristics are crucial for security systems. Laser light is a focused beam that doesn't spread
out as a lightbulb or flashlight would. Additionally, laser light only has one color in essence.
Laser light doesn't spread out very much, thus it can be delivered a great distance yet contain
enough energy in a compact space to activate the detector for the security system. Due to its
single wavelength, it is possible to apply a blocking filter to the detector to allow just laser light
to pass through while inhibiting background light from reaching the sensor.

RATIONALE
Security is a basic need that every person has. For a peaceful life, it is essential that we
feel secure and that everything is okay. But how can one get that sense of security in this
dangerous world when crime, terror, and terrorism are at their highest? We have a solution in
the form of laser security alarm, and more and more people are installing them as a result in
order to feel protected and secure. For security and safety reasons, a variety of electronic
security systems may be utilized at home and other crucial workplaces.
