 ABSTRACT

This project deals with a model of laser security alarm system design.
Laser security systems used to be difficult to install and rarely available to
anyone other than the super-rich. Now, there are dozens of different security
systems on the market that utilize lasers and can effectively protect everything
from small apartments and businesses to large areas of property. Most home
laser security systems consist of two parts: a basic alarm unit and an infrared
motion detector.
Laser based security system is a type of security and alarm system that
uses laser light and a light sensor. Why a laser to be used? It Is known that a
laser light goes through long distance without any scattering effect (disturbing)
and it is only visible at source and the destination point so it can be used as
mediator between source and destination but to analyse the source a sensor is
need, here the use of LDR is applicable.
Just analysis is not enough alerting should be done in general alerting is
sound effect so here buzzer act as alerting. Making use of this, a laser security
system is designed. Its working:
There is a laser diode that generates the laser beam which continuously strikes
over the Light dependent resister sensors. When any person crosses the path, it
inhibits laser to reach LDR and the sensor generate a low which is read by
controller to power on the buzzer.
 1. INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:

Need of security is the basic necessity of any individual. The feeling that
we are safe and everything around us is all right is imperative for a peaceful
living. But in this unsafe world, when crime, terror and threats are on their
peak, how can one attain that sense of security? Here, laser security system
provides us with a solution and for this reason more and more people are
installing them in order to stay safe and secure. Various electronic security
systems can be used at home and other important working places for security
and safety purposes.

Laser Security alarm is a device used for security purposes. It has a wide
application in fields of security and defence starting from the security of simple
house hold material to a very high valued material of an organization. They
once used to be expensive solutions for security needs. Owing to cost cutting
and fast technological advancements, this form of security system is becoming
more affordable.

Lasers differ from other light sources in a few significant ways. There are
two features that are important for security systems. Unlike a light bulb or
flashlight, laser light doesn't spread out, it is a narrow beam. And laser light is
essentially a single colour. Because laser light doesn't spread much, it can be
sent it a long way and still have enough energy in a small area to trigger the
security system detector. Because it's a single wavelength, it can put a blocking
filter on the detector to let laser light through without letting background light
onto the detector.

Laser light travels in a straight line.For instance,to protect the front of the
yard, putting the laser at one comer and the detector at the other corner would
do the job.That's not a very practical configuration,though. More typically, if it
is needed to protect the perimeter of a room, or at least the enhances. So laser
security systems start with a laser pointing to a small mirror. The first mirror is
angled to direct the beam to a second small mirror, and so on until the final
mirror directs the beam to the detector. If the beam is interrupted anywhere
between the laser and the detector, the electronics will put warning signal.

PRINCIPLE:

There are three essential components to a laser security system: a laser, a

detector and sensing circuit. The laser is a concentrated light source that puts
out a straight line, 'pencil beam, of light of a single colour. The detector is
sensitive to light and puts out a voltage when the laser light hits it. The detector
is connected to the sensing circuit. When the laser beam is interrupted and
cannot reach the detector, its voltage output changes, and the circuit sense the
change and put out a warning signal.
CIRCUIT DESIGN:

The design of the laser security system circuit is very simple. Coming to
the design of the circuit, First, the LDR and a 10 K Ω resistor are connected in
series with the voltage divider and its output (common point) is connected to
the pin 3 (non – inverting) of the Op- Amp IC LM358. For the inverting
terminal (pin 2), connected the wiper of a 10 KΩ potentiometer (other two
terminal of the POT are connected to VCC and GND).

The 8th and 4th pin of Op-Amp IC LM358 are connected to the voltage
divider and ground respectively.The output of the Op – Amp (Pin 1) is
connected to the base of the transistor (BC547) through a resistor of 220 ohms.
The trigger pin of 555 (Pin 2) is connected to the common point of 10 KΩ
resistor and collector of transistor common point.

The other end of resistor is given to voltage divider. The emitter of the
transistor is given to the ground The reset pin (pin 4) of the 555 is connected to
VCC through a 10 KΩ resistor and a push button is connected between Pin 4 of
555 and GND. The non-inverting input (5th pin) is connected to ground through
100nano farad capacitor. A buzzer is connected to pin 3 of ic555 IC. The other
end of buzzer is given to the ground. The voltage divider (8th pin) of ic555
timer is given to voltage divider and the output pin (1st pin) is given to the
ground.
WORKING:

First, the Op – Amp circuit acts as a comparator i.e. it compares the

voltages at the inverting and non – inverting terminals and produces an output
accordingly. The LDR, resistor Voltage divider is connected to the non –
inverting terminal of Op –Amp and a potentiometer is connected to the
inverting terminal.

Assume, the laser pointer is placed directly in line of sight to the LDR
and the light from the laser is continuously being incident on LDR. In this
situation, the resistance of LDR falls down to few Ohms and as a result, the
voltage at the non – inverting terminal will be less than that at the inverting
voltage. The output of the Op –Amp is low and the transistor is OFF.

If the laser light is blocked by an intruder from falling on the LDR (even
for a small duration), the resistance of the LDR goes to few hundreds of Ohms
and as a result, the output of the Op –Amp will be HIGH. This will turn on the
Transistor. As the output of the transistor is connected to the Trigger Pin (Pin
2) of the 555 Timer IC, if the transistor is ON, the trigger pin gets a short low
pulse and as a result, the output of the 555 becomes HIGH.

This will activate the alarm by turning ON the buzzer. Since, the 555
Timer IC is configured as a Bi – Stable Multivibrator, a small active low trigger
pulse at the trigger pin will set its output to HIGH and in order to reset it a
person need to push the reset button. Until the reset push button is pushed, the
alarm will stay on hence; place the reset button at a secret location so that only
the owner can disable the alarm.
 5. CONCLUSION

In the end, we made the laser security in low budget. It had been protect
in full security. Laser security systems are a high tech technology that used to
be a part of home security only available to the wealthy. It is manually switch
dependent sensors and a basic alarm unit. Laser security system a person moves
in front of the motion sensor, that triggers the system’s alarm. And the alarm
signals the security monitoring company and local law enforcement. The basic
alarm unit will also sound a loud alarm.
Laser security system provides us the security against any crime, theft in
our day to day life and so people are installing them in order to stay safe, secure
and sound. Various electronic security systems can be used at home and other
important working places for security and safety purposes. It is a great
opportunity and source of saving man power contributing no wastage of
electricity.
The "Laser Security System" is an important helping system. Using this
system robbery, thefts & crime can be avoided to large extend. Avoiding
thieves results in the safety of our financial assets and thereby this system
provides us protection against all. The Laser & LDR system is highly sensitive
with a great range of working. The system senses the light emitted by the Laser
falling over the LDR connected with the circuit. Whenever the beam of light is
interrupted by any means, it triggers the alarm or siren. This highly reactive
approach has low computational requirement, therefore it is well suited to
surveillance, industrial application and smart environments.
