LaserShield: An

Advanced Laser

Security System.
 INTRODUCTION
Security is one of the most important factors
today. Technology develops day by day in
the world. As the world becomes integrated
with technology, the security of people’s
wellbeing and safety of the establishments,
household and possessions can
become an issue.
UNDERSTANDING LASERSHIELD

Lasershield is a portable, wireless home security

system that uses a combination of motion detection
and laser technology to protect homes from
intruders. It consists of a base unit, wireless sensors,
and a keychain remote. The sensors create a
perimeter using laser beams, and if an intruder
breaks the beam, it triggers the alarm. Lasershield is
easy to install and provides an additional layer of
security for homes or small businesses.
 SECURITY SYSTEM
A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion or
unauthorized entry into a building or other area. Security
alarms are used in residential, commercial, industrial, and
military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or
property damage, as well as personal protection against
intruders. Car alarms likewise help protect vehicles and their
contents. Prisons also use security systems for control of
inmates. Museums use security system to ensure safety of
valuable artifacts and historical items. Banks such as the
pentagon has been integrated with high security system for
money security and other valuable items.
 BENEFITS OF LASERSHIELD

Portability: It’s a portable and wireless

security system, easy to install and move
around.

Effective Protection: Uses laser technology

for reliable detection of intrusions.

Simple Installation: Easy to set up without

requiring complex wiring.

Customizable: Can be customized to fit

various home or business security needs.

Alerts and Notifications: Provides

immediate alerts when the laser perimeter
is breached, enhancing security measures.
USES OF LASER SECURITY SYSTEM

Home Security: Protecting homes by creating a laser

perimeter that triggers an alarm when breached.
Commercial Security: Safeguarding businesses,
offices, and warehouses by setting up laser barriers
to detect unauthorized access.
Museum Protection: Securing valuable artifacts or
artworks by using laser systems to create protective
perimeters around exhibits.
Industrial Applications: Implementing laser security Vehicle Security: Protecting vehicles,
to safeguard high-value equipment or restricted especially high-end or valuable ones,
areas within industrial facilities. by setting up laser systems as an
Outdoor Security: Monitoring outdoor spaces like additional layer of security.
gardens, yards, or open areas by deploying laser
sensors for intruder detection.
 ADVANTAGES
Precision: They create a highly accurate detection grid,
minimizing false alarms.
Long-range capabilities: They can cover large areas with
a single beam, enhancing security coverage.

Speed: Lasers operate at the speed of light, allowing for

immediate detection and response.

Low visibility: Laser beams can be invisible, making

them difficult to detect or bypass.

Reliability: They are less prone to environmental

interference like rain, fog, or dust compared to
traditional sensors.
DISADVANTAGES
Environmental Limitations: These systems can be affected by environmental
conditions like fog, rain, dust, or smoke, potentially causing false alarms or
reducing their effectiveness.
Cost: Laser systems can be expensive due to the technology involved,
especially for larger areas that need more extensive coverage.

Vulnerability to Interference: External factors like other light sources or

deliberate interference can disrupt or bypass the system,
compromising security.
Complex Installation: Setting up laser security systems often
requires precise alignment and positioning, which can be
challenging and time-consuming.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance and calibration are
necessary to ensure the system's continued accuracy and
functionality, adding to operational costs.

Limited Coverage Range: The coverage range of

laser systems might be limited, requiring
multiple units to cover larger areas effectively.
THE DEVICE COMPONENTS AND THIER FUNCTIONS
LASER:
Laser is a handheld device emitting a narrow low
powered beam of light. The laser serves as the trigger
to the LDR; which in return triggers the buzzer when
the connection of the laser and the LDR is
intercepted.

LDR ( Light Dependent Resistor ) :

LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), a light sensing device
that varies its resistance to the amount light and
darkness it receives. When the light received increases,
its resistance decreases and when the light decreases,
the resistance increases
RESISTOR :
a component that is used to resist the flow of current
through the circuit and therefore limits the amount of
current that could pass through a component.

TRANSISTOR :
it controls the flow of current to a specific component.

LED ( Light Emitting Diode ) :

this project uses one color of LED, white. This
component indicates (if it is lightning) that the LDR
doesn’t receive any light from the laser therefore there
is an intruder.
MATRIX CIRCUIT BOARD :
this is a type of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) which
contains holes for the easier placing of components.
In this project, we used a 2*3 Matrix Board

BUZZER :
provides sound as an indicator that there is an
intruder

SWITCH :
- control power of the circuit. Used to cut the flow of
current.
 CONCLUSION
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.
