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.
➢ Introduction:
• Electronic Watch Dog Project as it performs the task of detecting the presence of
a person at the entrance of a premises.
• IR rays from transmitter reaches the IR receiver making it signal to the 555 IC.
• When a person enters through the door, the IR rays gets cut.
• The receiver output changes resulting the 555 IC to trigger. This eventually leads
in triggering UM66 IC eventually ringing a alarm.
• Hearing the alarm the owner of the premises can come to know that someone has
entered through the door.
➢ Literature Review:
➢ Block diagram:
➢ Methodology:
• The transmitter and receiver units are aligned such that the IR beam falls directly
on the IR sensor.
• When anyone interrupts the IR beam falling on the sensor, its output goes high
• As a result, gets triggered and its pins goes high to supply 3.3V to melody
generator IC at its pin , which produces a sweet melody through the speaker
fitted inside the house
• Fig. shows mounting arrangement for both the transmitter and receiver units on
the gate pillars.
• Now connect 6V power to the transmitter also and orient IR LED1 towards IR
receiver. The melody should stop after about 30 seconds.
• Now the transmitter and the receiver units are ready for use.
• The alarm keeps sounding as long as one stands between the transmitter and
receiver units.
• Small in size.
• Low cost.
➢ Disadvantages:
• It uses the concept of IR transmission and reception. So when anyone interrupts
the IR beam the bell will ring.
• Because of motion sensor, watchdog will detect everyone in the radius of 5-10
meters.
➢ Applications:
• It can be used as door bell or burglar alarm.
• It can also be used in Houses, Offices, Jewellery shops for security and anti-theft
purpose.
