Electronic Watch Dog Project

The electronic watch dog project uses an infrared sensor transmitter and receiver placed at an entrance to detect intruders. When someone enters and breaks the infrared beam, a circuit is triggered to set off an alarm. The alarm notifies the owner that someone has entered the premises. The circuit uses common electronic components like the 555 and UM66 integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, transistors, and diodes to trigger a speaker when the infrared beam is broken.

Electronic Watch Dog

Project

Traditionally and even now many people have pet dogs stationed at their
entrance. The purpose of the dogs is that they bark whenever a person enters
through the door. This is what names this project as Electronic Watch Dog Project
as it performs the same task of detecting the presence of a person at the entrance
of a premises.
A pair of IR sensor transmitter and receiver are placed at the entrance of the
premises that needs to be secured. This is what does the trick in our case in this
project. When a person or an intruder who doesn’t knows about the security
device installed at the entrance enters through the door, the IR rays gets cut. This
cutting of IR rays triggers a series of events in the circuit eventually ringing a
burglar alarm. Hearing the alarm the owner of the premises can come to know
that someone has entered through the door. Similarly, this device can be installed
whichever perimeter is needed to be secure from intruders.
The IR rays from transmitter reaches the IR receiver making it signal to the 555 IC
know that currently there is no present in between the sensors. But as soon as an
intruder cuts the IR rays, the receiver output changes resulting the 555 IC to
trigger. This eventually leads in triggering UM66 IC. Due to these series of events
the speaker connected at the output of the circuit board starts ringing thus
notifying about the intruder at the secured permeter.
