    This circuit uses a piezo sensor to detect vibrations and sounds caused by human and animal movement. The piezo sensor acts as a small capacitor that stores charge when a potential is applied, and discharges through a variable resistor when disturbed by vibrations or sounds. The simple circuit design uses readily available components to monitor protected areas and restrict entry of unwanted persons and animals.

    ABSTRACT

    SEISMIC SENSOR

    This circuit simulates the seismic sensor to detect vibrations and sound. It is very sensitive
    and detects vibrations and caused by movement of human beings and animals. So it can be
    used to monitor the protected areas to restrict entry of unwanted persons and animals.
    The circuit uses readily available components and the design is straightforward. A standard
    piezo sensor is used to detect vibrations/sounds due to pressure changes. The piezo element
    acts as a small capacitor having a capacitance of a few nanofarads. Like a Capacitor, it can
    store charge when a potential is applied to its terminals. It discharges through VR1, when it
    is disturbed.
