- Components Used:Arduino UNOPIR Motion Sensor (or ultrasonic sensor for distance)Buzzer / SpeakerLED (for visual alert)Resistors & connecting wires
Working Principle:The PIR sensor detects motion in its range. When motion is detected, the Arduino processes the signal and activates the buzzer and LED to raise an alarm. The system can be powered using a USB cable or a 9V battery
- Applications:Home/office security systemsRestricted area monitoringSafety alarms for valuables
- Advantages:Low-cost and simple to buildEasily customizable with more sensors (e.g., gas sensor, fire sensor)Can be upgraded to send alerts via GSM or IoT
