Description
Circuit diagram like in figure 1 above is Simple Circuit Diagram Home Security Alarm System using LDR. To implement this alarm system for home, you have to provide an optical path (with LASER beams) around your home. The LASER path is made possible with one LASER torch and 3 mirror arrangements which encloses the whole area. Please refer the project arrangement section below to make this optical (light) path. We have explained about home security system in detail with animation/ simulation.
How the circuit working?
- This circuit is based on LDR (Light Depended Resistor), a variable resistor in which the resistance varies according to the light intensity falling on it.
- The LDR and resistor R1 forms a potential divider network, which is the main part of our security alarm circuit.
- We have already discussed about how transistor acts as a switch, the same principle is used here.
- The voltage drop across the LDR is used to drive the transistor switch. When the voltage drop is above cut in voltage (0.6V), the transistor is turned ON.
