 ABSTRACT
• A laser security system uses laser beams and photodetectors to create an
invisible barrier that, when interrupted, triggers an alarm or security
response.
• This technology is commonly employed in various security applications,
including protecting properties, sensitive areas, and valuable assets.
• The system operates by projecting a laser beam across the area to be
secured; if an intruder crosses the beam, the photodetector senses the
interruption, activating the alarm.
• Key advantages of laser security systems include high precision, quick
response time, low false alarm rates, and the ability to cover extensive
areas.

 INTRODUCTION
• In an increasingly security-conscious world, the need for effective and
reliable security systems has never been greater.
• Among the various technologies available, laser security systems
stand out due to their precision, efficiency, and adaptability.
• Laser security systems function by projecting a continuous or pulsed
laser beam across a space to be secured.
• This beam, which is often invisible to the naked eye, is received by a
photodetector positioned at the other end of the secured area.
• When an object or person crosses the beam, it interrupts the signal
received by the photodetector, triggering an alarm or alert.

 METHODOLOGY
•Define Requirements: Identify the specific security needs and objectives of the project, including the area to be
secured, potential threats, and desired features.
•Select Components: Choose suitable hardware components, including an Arduino board, laser module,
photodetector (e.g., LDR or photodiode), buzzer or alarm, resistors, and connecting wires.
•Design Hardware Setup: Determine the placement of the laser module and photodetector to create an effective
barrier.
Plan the circuit layout and connections on a breadboard or PCB.
•Connect Components :Wire the components according to the circuit design, ensuring proper connections and
polarity.
Use appropriate resistors and voltage levels to interface components with the Arduino board.
•Write Arduino Code: Develop Arduino code to read sensor values from the photodetector and detect interruptions
in the laser beam.
Set thresholds for triggering alarms or alerts based on sensor readings.
Implement logic for activating the buzzer or alarm when an intrusion is detected.
•Test Hardware and Software: Verify the functionality of individual components by testing them separately.
Test the integrated system to ensure proper communication between components and accurate detection of
intrusions.
