Programmable Home Security Alarm System

In this project we design low cost high performance programmable home security system using few LDR’s as an input sensors. When above sensor(s) get triggered system may dial the user specified phone number (using build-in DTMF generator) and activate the high power audio alarm and lights. All the parameters of DTMF generator, audio alarm and light interface are programmed through the RS232 serial interface.


Current firmware of this system presents interactive control system through the RS232 interface. This control system consist with the menu driven configuration options, self tests, system report generators, etc.

This system also contain 5W (with 4Ω speaker) audio alarm with three selectable tone configurations, which include Police siren, Fire engine siren and Ambulance siren.

This system uses a Microchip’s PIC16F877A as a main controller, LM339 as sensor interface, UM3561 as a tone generator and μPC2002 as a speaker driver (audio amplifier). LM7805, LM7812 and LM317 voltage regulators are used to obtain +5V, +12V and +3V respectively.

All the project source codes, schematic diagrams and PCB patterns are available in google drive with terms and conditions of GNU GPL and Creative Commons - Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.

Without a doubt, protecting a home with a cheap, wireless house alarm is certainly better than leaving the home completely unprotected.

Burglars don't ever like home security systems so when they come across a home that has a home security system installed, they prefer to go elsewhere, hence, your possessions are kept safe.

One very important element of having an alarm system in the house is those stickers and little signs on houses already equipped with one. More often than not, these signs have a psychological effect on potential home invaders that may help you even you ward them off even when you have forgotten to turn the system on.
Sounds like a good choice, though I think is wort it to put a lot of thought on it, is our family security we are talking about.

Home security alarms are available on the market with different types of different means. Common home security cameras include motion sensors, digital alarms and wireless security alarms. Each type has different functions. Among those three, wireless security cameras are the most popular choice of homeowners. It totally depends on the homeowner which type to choose. They just have to make sure that they purchase it from reputable providers.

Therefore glad I found your website searching for shoes.
This is great information at any given time when the internet is full
of falsehoods. Keep up the task in "Link to another good article from Allen Wright" and that i can
come back often.
