LASER SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
LASER-Ray goes through long distance without scattering effect and the
Ray is almost invisible. Only the radiation point and incident point is visible. So by
this security project we can make an invisible boundary of a sensitive area. There
is two part of the system. One is transmitter and other is receiver. The transmitter
part is built with a LASER radiator, a pair of dry cell batteries, an on-off switch
and a stand to hold it. The receiver side, there is a focusing LDR (Light depending
Resistor) sensor to sense the LASER continuously. The LDR sensor also holds
with a stand and it connected with the main driver circuit. The circuit has two
parts. One is filtered the signal of discontinuity ray and others is alarm circuit.
When anybody crossover the invisible ray the main circuit sense the discontinuity
by sensor and turn on the alarm circuit. If once the alarm circuit is on it will still
ringing until push the reset button. There is two option of ringing. One is the
duration of ringing depends on preset timer and another reset manually. Any option
can be set by DPDT switch. If anybody wants to bind a sensitive area with the
single ray he has to use mirror at every corner to reflect it. The system has built
with low cost and high performance. The power consumption of the system is very
low.

Working of Laser Security Alarm Circuit:-
In this circuit we have set reference voltages of comparators by using
potentiometer, we can say this sensitivity of the circuit. Comparator is configured
in non-inverting mode. In this system we have placed laser light and LDR facing
each other, so laser light continuously falls on LDR. Due to this a potential
difference generated across the non-inverting pin of comparator, then comparator
compare this potential difference with reference voltage and generate a digital
output as HIGH. Before this we have configured 555 timers in mono-stable mode
so we it required a LOW trigger pulse at its trigger pin to activate buzzer and
LED. So we applied output of comparator at trigger pin of 555 timer. Even
comparator’s output is HIGH when laser lights falls on LDR so at this time
buzzer and LED are deactivated. When someone crosses the laser light due to
this LDR lost the laser light and generates a different potential difference across
the same comparator terminal. Then comparator generates an output as LOW.
Due to this LOW signal 555 timer gets a LOW trigger pulse and activates buzzer
and LED for a time periods that is defined by R1 and C1 at 555 timer circuit.
