 INTRODUCTION
An automatic doorbell system is an attractive and much useful circuits
in our day to day life. generally, most house owners are using the door
bells. If the visitor comes to the house, first he or she searches for the
doorbell or knocks at the door or gate. if the owner is using an
automatic doorbell system, then the visitor needs not to search for the
doorbell or knock the door
Automatically, the PIR sensor will sense the person. hence the sound
will be produced from the side of the house to alert the owner on the
presence of the person at the door or gate

 PROBLEM STATEMENT
When a visitor comes to our homes, he or she searches for the doorbell
switch and rings it to let us know his or her presence. if he who comes
cannot find the doorbell switch or else if the person is too short or disabled,
that he or she cannot reach the switch, an automatic doorbell is used, which
rings as soon as a person arrives at our place. therefore, there will be no
more difficulties
Security problem incase of an intruder around the entrance of the house or
apartment
Time consumption on searching for the doorbell switch or knocking for a
long time without response 4
 OBJECTIVES
MAIN OBJECTIVE
To design an electric doorbell, that will automatically sense the presence of
a person at the door/gate of our houses using PIR sensor
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To study the existing system
To develop the automatic doorbell system program code
To develop the microcontroller based automatic electric doorbell circuit
To develop an indication unit for the response of the owner to the visitor
at the entrance

 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
Home automation system plays an important role in maintaining the
living standards by providing secure and convenient environment. The
design of this system is significant in enhancing security, saving time
for searching for the doorbell switch or house owner opening the door
and saving electricity

17
 SHORTCOMINGS OF THE SYSTEM
The PIR sensor detects all bodies that emits infrared rays including
humans and animals. This may lead to mis-operation and disturbance
incase animals pass by the residential areas
Therefore, it is recommended to use the PIR sensors that detects only
humans so as to overcome this problem for such systems

18
 CONCLUSION
Through the achievement of the system
 When a visitor comes to our residential areas will
automatically be detected and alert the owner on his or her
presence. Thus, difficultness of searching for the doorbell
switch is eliminated. Therefore saving time
 Also the visitor will be alerted on the response of the owner
through LED indicator
 Power saving technic, since the system will only operate
when required, that is on the presence of an object triggering 19
the PIR motion sensor
