ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INFORM THE PERSON USING THIS SYSTEM ABOUT THE ATTEMPT(S) OF BURGLAR TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM WORKS IN TWO MODES: HOME MODE, WORK MODE. IN THE HOME MODE, IF A BURGLAR TRIES TO BREAK IN TO THE HOUSE THEN AN ALARM WILL GO OFF INFORMING THE USER IN THE HOUSE. IN THE WORK MODE, THE SYSTEM SENDS A FLASH MESSAGE TO THE USER INFORMING HIM ABOUT THE INTRUSION. THE USER CAN SET THE MODE OF THE SYSTEM.

MOTIVATION FOR THE PROJECT: We come across many articles in the newspapers about burglary of houses and banks; high incidence of burglary has been reported in many cities over the past one year. The modern security systems are very expensive and it would cost the common man an arm and a leg to buy the modern security systems available in the market. So, we decided to make a cost-effective system that detects the intrusion.

1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT:

The purpose of our detection system is to detect the intrusion of a burglar in to the house of the user. We use a P.I.R (PASSIVE INFRARED) Sensor to detect the attempt(s) of a burglar to break in to the house. We use an Arduino to set the alarm in the home mode of the system or to send a flash message to the users cell phone in the work mode. We use a G.S.M modem to send the flash message. The arduino, in the work mode, sends AT commands to the G.S.M in order to send the message. We use MAX-232 to interface arduino with the modem. A detailed description of the procedure is explained in the forthcoming chapters.

2. GSM MODEM:
GSM/GPRS module is used to establish communication between a computer and a GSM-GPRS system. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is an architecture used for mobile communication in most of the countries. Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is an extension of GSM that enables higher data transmission rate. GSM/GPRS module consists of a GSM/GPRS modem assembled together with power supply circuit and communication interfaces (like RS-232, USB, etc) for computer. The MODEM is the soul of such modules.

FIGURE.1 GSM MODULE

GSM/GPRS MODEM is a class of wireless MODEM devices that are designed for communication of a computer with the GSM and GPRS network. It requires a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card just like mobile phones to activate communication with the network. Also they have IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number similar to mobile phones for their identification.

A GSM/GPRS MODEM can perform the following operations: 1. 2. 3. Receive, send or delete SMS messages in a SIM. Read, add, search phonebook entries of the SIM. Make, Receive, or reject a voice call.

The MODEM needs AT commands, for interacting with processor or controller, which are communicated through serial communication. These commands are sent by the controller/processor. The MODEM sends back a result after it receives a command. Different AT commands supported by the MODEM can be sent by the processor/controller/computer to interact with the GSM and GPRS cellular network.

3. AT COMMANDS:
AT commands are used to control MODEMs. AT is the abbreviation for Attention. These commands come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The Hayes commands started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up and wireless MODEMs (devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT commands to interact with a computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset, along with other extended AT commands. The Hayes command set is a specific command-language originally developed for the HayesSmartmodem 300 baud modem in 1981. The command set consists of a series of short text strings which combine together to produce complete commands for operations such as dialling, hanging up, and changing the parameters of the connection.

FIGURE.3 AT COMMANDS IN GSM MODEM. AT commands with a GSM/GPRS MODEM or mobile phone can be used to access following information and services: 1. Information and configuration pertaining to mobile device orMODEM and SIM card. 2. SMS, MMS services. 3. Fax services. 4. Data and Voice link over mobile network.

The Hayes subset commands are called the basic commands and the commands specific to a GSM network are called extended AT commands.

Command, Information response and Result Codes: The AT commands are sent by the computer to the MODEM/ mobile phone. The MODEM sends back an Information Response i.e. the information requested by or pertaining to the action initiated by the AT command. This is followed by a Result Code. The result code tells about the successful execution of that command.

FIGURE.4 EXECUTION OF AT COMMANDS

There are also unsolicited Result Codes that are returned automatically by the MODEM to notify the occurrence of an event. For example the reception of a SMS will force MODEM to return an unsolicited result code.

4. AT commands' syntax:
Case Sensitivity The AT commands are generally used in uppercase letters. However some MODEMs and mobile phones allow both uppercase and small case letters. Single Command The AT commands include a prefix AT which indicates the beginning of the command to MODEM; and a carriage return which indicates the end of the command.

FIGURE.5 FORMAT OF AT COMMAND However string AT itself is not the part of the command. For example in ATD, D is the command name not ATD. The extended AT commands have a + in the command name. For example: AT+CGMI<Carriage return>

10

String in Command Line Strings in a command line are enclosed in double quotes. For example: AT+CGML=ALL<Carriage return> Information Response and Result Code The Information Response and Result Codes, returned by the MODEM, have a carriage return and line feed in the beginning as well as at the end.

FIGURE.6 Information Response and Result Code

For example: <Carriage return><Line feed>OK<Carriage return><Line feed> <Carriage return><Line feed>ERROR<Carriage return><Line feed> <Carriage return><Line feed>+CBC: 0, 60<Carriage return><Line feed> etc. Sequence of Execution In the command line, the command appearing first is executed first. The execution then follows for second appeared command and so on. The execution of commands in a command line takes place in sequential manner. If an error occurs in the execution of a command, an error result code is returned by the MODEM and the execution of the command

11

line is terminated irrespective of presence of other commands next in the command line. There are four types of AT commands: 1) Test commands 2) Read commands 3) Set commands 4) Execution commands.

7. ARDUINO
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The Arduino software consists of a development environment (IDE) and the core libraries. The IDE is written in Java and based on the Processing development environment. The core libraries are written in C and C++ and compiled using avr-gcc and AVR Libc. The software also consists of the boot loader that runs on the board. The hardware consists of a simple open hardware design for the Arduino board with an Atmel AVR processor and onboard input/output support. Arduino Platform: Hardware: An Arduino board consists of an 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller with complementary components to facilitate programming and incorporation into other circuits. An important aspect of the Arduino is the standard way that connectors are exposed, allowing the CPU board to be connected to a variety of interchangeable add-on modules known as shields. Official Arduinos have used the megaAVR series of chips, specifically the ATmega8, ATmega168, ATmega328, ATmega1280, and ATmega2560. A handful of other processors have been used by Arduino compatibles. Most

15

boards include a 5 volt linear regulator and a 16 MHz crystal oscillator (or ceramic resonator in some variants), although some designs such as the LilyPad run at 8 MHz and dispense with the onboard voltage regulator due to specific form-factor restrictions. An Arduino's microcontroller is also pre-programmed with a boot loader that simplifies uploading of programs to the on-chip flash memory, compared with other devices that typically need an external programmer. At a conceptual level, when using the Arduino software stack, all boards are programmed over an RS-232 serial connection, but the way this is implemented varies by hardware version. Serial Arduino boards contain a simple inverter circuit to convert between RS-232level and TTL-level signals. Current Arduino boards are programmed via USB, implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips such as theFTDI FT232. Some variants, such as the Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarduino, use a detachable USB-to-serial adapter board or cable, Bluetooth or other methods. (When used with traditional microcontroller tools instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR ISP programming is used.)The Arduino board exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits. SOFTWARE: heArduino IDE is a cross-platform application written in Java, and is derived from the IDE for the Processing programming language and the Wiring project. It is designed to introduce programming to artists and other newcomers unfamiliar with software development. It includes a code editor with features such as syntax highlighting, brace matching, and automatic indentation, and is also capable of compiling and uploading programs to the board with a single click. The Arduino IDE comes with a C/C++ library called "Wiring" (from the project of the same name), which makes many common input/output operationsmuch easier. Arduino programs are written in C/C++, although users only need define two functions to make a runnable program:

16

setup() a function run once at the start of a program that can initialize settings loop() a function called repeatedly until the board powers off

A typical first program for a microcontroller simply blinks a LED on and off. In the Arduino environment, the user might write a program like this: #define LED_PIN 13 void setup () { pinMode (LED_PIN, OUTPUT); }

// enable pin 13 for digital output

void loop () { digitalWrite (LED_PIN, HIGH); // turn on the LED delay (1000); // wait one second (1000 milliseconds) digitalWrite (LED_PIN, LOW); // turn off the LED delay (1000); // wait one second } For the above code to work correctly, the positive side of the LED must be connected to pin 13 and the negative side of the LED must be connected to ground. The above code would not be seen by a standard C++ compiler as a valid program, so when the user clicks the "Upload to I/O board" button in the IDE, a copy of the code is written to a temporary file with an extra include header at the top and a very simple main() function at the bottom, to make it a valid C++ program.

17

Arduinouno The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 . It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2) programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.

18

Power The Arduino Uno can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically. External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than 7V, however, the 5V pin maysupply less than five volts and the board may be unstable. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts. The power pins are as follows:

VIN. The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using an external power source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated power source). You can supply voltage through this pin, or, if supplying voltage via the power jack, access it through this pin. 5V. The regulated power supply used to power the microcontroller and other components on the board. This can come either from VIN via an on-board regulator, or be supplied by USB or another regulated 5V supply. 3V3. A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current draw is 50 mA. GND. Ground pins. Memory The ATmega328 has 32 KB (with 0.5 KB used for the bootloader). It also has 2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written with the EEPROM library). Input and Output Each of the 14 digital pins on the Uno can be used as an input or output, using pinMode(), digital Write(), and digitalRead() functions. They operate at 5 volts. Each pin can provide or receive a maximum of 40 mA and has an internal pull-up resistor (disconnected by

19

default) of 20-50 kOhms. In addition, some pins have specialized functions:

Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. These pins are connected to the corresponding pins of the ATmega8U2 USB-to-TTL Serial chip. External Interrupts: 2 and 3. These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on a low value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value using attachInterrupt() PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite() function. SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication using the SPI library. LED: 13. There is a built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off. The Uno has 6 analog inputs, labelled A0 through A5, each of which provide 10 bits of resolution (i.e. 1024 different values). By default they measure from ground to 5 volts, though is it possible to change the upper end of their range using the AREF pin and the analogReference() function. Additionally, some pins have specialized functionality:

TWI: A4 or SDA pin and A5 or SCL pin. Support TWI communication using the Wire library. There are a couple of other pins on the board:

AREF. Reference voltage for the analog inputs. Used with analogReference(). Reset. Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller. Typically used to add a reset button to shields which block the one on the board.

20

Communication The Arduino Uno has a number of facilities for communicating with a computer, another Arduino, or other microcontrollers. The ATmega328 provides UART TTL (5V) serial communication, which is available on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). An ATmega16U2 on the board channels this serial communication over USB and appears as a virtual com port to software on the computer. The '16U2 firmware uses the standard USB COM drivers, and no external driver is needed. However, on Windows, a .inf file is required. The Arduino software includes a serial monitor which allows simple textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino board. The RX and TX LEDs on the board will flash when data is being transmitted via the USB-to-serial chip and USB connection to the computer (but not for serial communication on pins 0 and 1). Programming The Arduino Uno can be programmed with the Arduino software (download). Select "Arduino Uno from the Tools > Board menu (according to the microcontroller on your board). For details, see the reference and tutorials. The ATmega328 on the Arduino Uno comes preburned with a bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it without the use of an external hardware programmer. It communicates using the original STK500 protocol (reference, C header files).

8. Interfacing Arduino with GSM modem:

In this section we will discuss how to interface GSM modem with arduino. The block diagram is shown below.

Block diagram of interfacing GSM modem with arduino

As the above block diagram shows, the GSM modem is connected to arduino using serial communication protocol. It is called UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) protocol. It is described in the following section. UART: A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, abbreviated UART, is a type of "asynchronous receiver/transmitter", a piece of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with communication standards such as EIA, RS-232, RS422 or RS-485. The universal designation indicates that the data format and transmission speeds are configurable and that the actual electric signalling levels and methods (such as differential

22

signalling etc.) typically are handled by a special driver circuit external to the UART. A UART is usually an individual (or part of an) integrated circuit used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port. UARTs are now commonly included in microcontrollers. A dual UART, or DUART, combines two UARTs into a single chip. Many modern ICs now come with a UART that can also communicate synchronously; these devices are called USARTs (universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitter). Transmitting and receiving serial data: The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) takes bytes of data and transmits the individual bits in a sequential fashion. At the destination, a second UART re-assembles the bits into complete bytes. Each UART contains a shift register, which is the fundamental method of conversion between serial and parallel forms. Serial transmission of digital information (bits) through a single wire or other medium is much more cost effective than parallel transmission through multiple wires. The UART usually does not directly generate or receive the external signals used between different items of equipment. Separate interface devices are used to convert the logic level signals of the UART to and from the external signalling levels. External signals may be of many different forms. Examples of standards for voltage signalling are RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 from the EIA. Historically, current (in current loops) was used in telegraph circuits. Some signalling schemes do not use electrical wires. Examples of such are optical fibre, IrDA (infrared), and (wireless) Bluetooth in its Serial Port Profile (SPP). Some signalling schemes use modulation of a carrier signal (with or without wires). Communication may be simplex (in one direction only, with no provision for the receiving device to send information back to the transmitting device), full duplex (both devices send and receive at

23

the same time) or half duplex (devices take turns transmitting and receiving). Character framing The idle, no data state is high-voltage, or powered. This is a historic legacy from telegraphy, in which the line is held high to show that the line and transmitter are not damaged. Each character is sent as a logic low start bit, a configurable number of data bits (usually 8, but legacy systems can use 5, 6, 7 or 9), an optional parity bit, and one or more logic high stop bits. The start bit signals the receiver that a new character is coming. The next five to eight bits, depending on the code set employed, represent the character. Following the data bits may be a parity bit. The next one or two bits are always in the mark (logic high, i.e., '1') condition and called the stop bit(s). They signal the receiver that the character is completed. Since the start bit is logic low (0) and the stop bit is logic high (1) there are always at least two guaranteed signal changes between characters. Obviously a problem exists if a receiver detects a line that is low for more than one character time. This is called a "break." It is normal to detect breaks to disable a UART or switch to an alternative channel. Sometimes remote equipment is designed to reset or shut down when it receives a break. Premium UARTs can detect and create breaks. Receiver All operations of the UART hardware are controlled by a clock signal which runs at a multiple of the data rate. For example, each data bit may be as long as 16 clock pulses. The receiver tests the state of the incoming signal on each clock pulse, looking for the beginning of the start bit. If the apparent start bit lasts at least onehalf of the bit time, it is valid and signals the start of a new character. If not, the spurious pulse is ignored. After waiting a further bit time, the state of the line is again sampled and the resulting level clocked into a shift register. After the required number of bit periods for the

24

character length (5 to 8 bits, typically) have elapsed, the contents of the shift register is made available (in parallel fashion) to the receiving system. The UART will set a flag indicating new data is available, and may also generate a processor interrupt to request that the host processor transfers the received data. The best UARTs "resynchronize" on each change of the data line that is more than a half-bit wide. In this way, they reliably receive when the transmitter is sending at a slightly different speed than the receiver. (This is the normal case, because communicating units usually have no shared timing system apart from the communication signal.) Simplistic UARTs may merely detect the falling edge of the start bit, and then read the centre of each expected data bit. A simple UART can work well if the data rates are close enough that the stop bits are sampled reliably. It is a standard feature for a UART to store the most recent character while receiving the next. This "double buffering" gives a receiving computer an entire character transmission time to fetch a received character. Many UARTs have a small first-in, first-out FIFO buffer memory between the receiver shift register and the host system interface. This allows the host processor even more time to handle an interrupt from the UART and prevents loss of received data at high rates. Transmitter Transmission operation is simpler since it is under the control of the transmitting system. As soon as data is deposited in the shift register after completion of the previous character, the UART hardware generates a start bit, shifts the required number of data bits out to the line, generates and appends the parity bit (if used), and appends the stop bits. Since transmission of a single character may take a long time relative to CPU speeds, the UART will maintain a flag showing busy status so that the host system does not deposit a new character for transmission until the previous one has been completed; this may also be done with an interrupt. Since full-duplex operation requires characters to be sent and received at the same

25

time, practical UARTs use two different shift registers for transmitted characters and received characters. Structure A UART usually contains the following components:

a clock generator, usually a multiple of the bit rate to allow sampling in the middle of a bit period. input and output shift registers transmit/receive control read/write control logic transmit/receive buffers (optional) parallel data bus buffer (optional) First-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer memory (optional)

UART in modems Modems for personal computers that plug into a motherboard slot must also include the UART function on the card. The original 8250 UART chip shipped with the IBM personal computer had no onchip buffering for received characters, which meant that communications software performed poorly at speeds above 9600 bits/second, especially if operating under a multitasking system or if handling interrupts from disk controllers. High-speed modems used UARTs that were compatible with the original chip but which included additional FIFO buffers, giving software additional time to respond to incoming data. A look at the performance requirements at high bit rates shows why the 16, 32, 64 or 128 byte FIFO is a necessity. The Microsoft specification for a DOS system requires that interrupts not be disabled for more than 1 millisecond at a time. Some hard disk drives and video controllers violate this specification. 9600 bit/s will deliver a character approximately every millisecond, so a 1 byte FIFO should be sufficient at this rate on a DOS system which meets the maximum interrupt disable timing. Rates above this may receive a new

26

character before the old one has been fetched, and thus the old character will be lost. This is referred to as an overrun error and results in one or more lost characters. With error correcting modems, any lost characters will be retransmitted, but retransmission slows the connection. A 16 byte FIFO allows up to 16 characters to be received before the computer has to service the interrupt. This increases the maximum bit rate the computer can process reliably from 9600 to 153,000 bit/s if it has a 1 millisecond interrupt dead time. A 32 byte FIFO increases the maximum rate to over 300,000 bit/s. A second benefit to having a FIFO is that the computer only has to service about 8 to 12% as many interrupts, allowing more CPU time for updating the screen, or doing other chores. Thus the computer's responses will improve as well. Voltage level conversion: Coming back to the interfacing GSM modem to arduino, we have to connect the rx line of GSM modem to tx line of Arduino and tx line of GSM modem to rx line of Arduino. But the GSM modem we are using operates between +10V to -10V and Arduinooperates between +5 to 0V. Directly connecting them may cause damage to Arduino. So we use a voltage level conversion chip MAX232 IC. This IC converts the voltages from RS232 level to TTL or CMOS level. The description of MAX232 is given below. MAX232 The MAX232 is an integrated circuit that converts signals from an RS-232 serial port to signals suitable for use in TTL compatible digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver and typically converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTS signals. The drivers provide RS-232 voltage level outputs (approx. 7.5 V) from a single + 5 V supply via on-chip charge pumps and external capacitors. This makes it useful for implementing RS-232 in devices that otherwise do not need any voltages outside the 0 V to + 5 V

27

range, as power supply design does not need to be made more complicated just for driving the RS-232 in this case. The receivers reduce RS-232 inputs (which may be as high as 25 V), to standard 5 V TTL levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V. Voltage levels It is helpful to understand what occurs to the voltage levels. When a MAX232 IC receives a TTL level to convert, it changes a TTL Logic 0 to between +3 and +15 V, and changes TTL Logic 1 to between -3 to 15 V, and vice versa for converting from RS232 to TTL. This can be confusing when you realize that the RS232 Data Transmission voltages at a certain logic state are opposite from the RS232 Control Line voltages at the same logic state. To clarify the matter, see the table below. For more information see RS-232 Voltage Levels. RS232 Line Type & Logic Level RS232 Voltage +3 V +15 V -3 V to 15 V to TTL Voltage to/from MAX232

Once again coming back to interfacing GSM modem with Arduino, we see that they are interconnected using a MAX232 IC.

9. Passive infrared sensor (PIR) :

A Passive Infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic device that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. PIR sensors are often used in the construction of PIRbased motion detectors (see below). Apparent motion is detected when an infrared source with one temperature, such as a human, passes in front of an infrared source with another temperature, such as a wall. This is not to say that the sensor detects the heat from the object passing in front of it but that the object breaks the field which the sensor has determined as the "normal" state. Any object, even

29

one exactly the same temperature as the surrounding objects will cause the PIR to activate if it moves in the field of the sensors. All objects above absolute zero emit energy in the form of radiation. Usually infrared radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by electronic devices designed for such a purpose. The term passive in this instance means that the PIR device does not emit an infrared beam but merely passively accepts incoming infrared radiation. Infra meaning below our ability to detect it visually, and Red because this colour represents the lowest energy level that our eyes can sense before it becomes invisible. Thus, infrared means below the energy level of the colour red, and applies to many sources of invisible energy. Design In a PIR-based motion detector (usually called a PID, for Passive Infrared Detector), the PIR sensor is typically mounted on a printed circuit board containing the necessary electronics required to interpret the signals from the pyro electric sensor chip. The complete assembly is contained within a housing mounted in a location where the sensor can view the area to be monitored. Infrared energy is able to reach the pyro electric sensor through the window because the plastic used is transparent to infrared radiation (but only translucent to visible light). This plastic sheet also prevents the intrusion of dust and/or insects from obscuring the sensor's field of view, and in the case of insects, from generating false alarms. A few mechanisms have been used to focus the distant infrared energy onto the sensor surface. The window may have multiple Fresnel lenses moulded into it. PIR based motion detector: In a PIR-based motion detector (usually called a PID, for Passive Infrared Detector), the PIR sensor is typically mounted on a printed circuit board containing the necessary electronics required to interpret the signals from the pyro electric sensor chip. The complete assembly is contained within a housing mounted in a location where

30

the sensor can view the area to be monitored. Infrared energy is able to reach the pyro electric sensor through the window because the plastic used is transparent to infrared radiation (but only translucent to visible light). This plastic sheet also prevents the intrusion of dust and/or insects from obscuring the sensor's field of view, and in the case of insects, from generating false alarms.

The PID can be thought of as a kind of infrared camera that remembers the amount of infrared energy focused on its surface. Once power is applied to the PID, the electronics in the PID shortly settle into a quiescent state and energize a small relay. This relay controls a set of electrical contacts that are usually connected to the detection input of a burglar alarm control panel. If the amount of infrared energy focused on the pyro electric sensor changes within a configured time period, the device will switch the state of the alarm relay. The alarm relay is typically a "normally closed (NC)" relay, also known as a "Form B" relay. A person entering a monitored area is detected when the infrared energy emitted from the intruder's body is focused by a Fresnel lens or a mirror segment and overlaps a section on the chip that had previously been looking at some much cooler part of the protected area. That portion of the chip is now much warmer than when the intruder wasn't there. As the intruder moves, so does the hot spot on the surface of the chip. This moving hot spot causes the electronics connected to the chip to de-energize the relay, operating its contacts, thereby activating the detection input on the alarm control panel. Conversely, if an intruder were to try to defeat a PID, perhaps by holding some sort of thermal shield between himself and the PID, a corresponding 'cold' spot moving across the face of the

31

chip will also cause the relay to de-energize unless the thermal shield has the same temperature as the objects behind it. Manufacturers recommend careful placement of their products to prevent false (non-intruder caused) alarms. They suggest mounting the PIDs in such a way that the PID cannot 'see' out of a window. Although the wavelength of infrared radiation to which the chips are sensitive does not penetrate glass very well, a strong infrared source such as from a vehicle headlight or sunlight reflecting from a vehicle window can overload the chip with enough infrared energy to fool the electronics and cause a false alarm. A person moving on the other side of the glass however would not be 'seen' by the PID. They also recommended that the PID not be placed in such a position that an HVAC vent would blow hot or cold air onto the surface of the plastic which covers the housing's window. Although air has very low emissivity (emits very small amounts of infrared energy), the air blowing on the plastic window cover could change the plastic's temperature enough to, once again, fool the electronics. PIDs come in many configurations for a wide variety of applications. The most common, used in home security systems, have numerous Fresnel lenses or mirror segments and an effective range of about thirty feet. Some larger PIDs are made with single segment mirrors and can sense changes in infrared energy over one hundred feet away from the PID. There are also PIDs designed with reversible orientation mirrors which allow either broad coverage (110 wide) or very narrow 'curtain' coverage. PIDs can have more than one internal sensing element so that, with the appropriate electronics and Fresnel lens, it can detect

direction. Left to right, right to left, up or down and provide an appropriate output signal.

10. Interfacing PIR to Arduino:

The PIR sensors output line goes high for around 1min when any signal is detected. This line is connected to the digital input pin of arduino. When this line goes high, the program in the arduino detects its change and generates an alarm or sends SMS depending on what mode it is working. It is shown in the figure below.

11. Arduino algorithm:

1) When sensor output goes high, the arduino detects it and activates alarm or sends SMS based on which mode it is working. 2) There are two modes a) Home mode b) Work mode Home mode: This mode is switched on when the user is inside the home. In this mode when the intruder enters the home (probably in the nights), the alarm is activated. Work mode: The user turns on this mode when he goes to office or on vacation. In this mode when any intruder enters the home, the PIR detector detects the human intrusion. The arduino sends SMS to the user so that he can take necessary actions like, informing the neighbours or local police.

The code and its working: The code is written in arduinoIDE(Integrated development environment). It is in C language with the functions from arduino library. Structure of the code: It consists of two basic functions setup and loop. The pre setups are defined in the setup function and the main program is written in the loop function. Setup runs only once but the loop function keeps on repeating. Remaining things are explained in Arduino section.

12. Future Scope of the project.

This intrusion detection system can be extended for many practical systems some of them are based on large scale installations. The signals from the sensor can be sent through wireless communication to the (processor-GSM module) kit kept somewhere else which furthers enhances the security system. The sensors can also be installed at doors, windows and lockers in the building and all these sensors send their signals wirelessly to the single centralized (processor-GSM module) present at a safe place. This system will be very advantageous in preventing car thefts by setting up the sensor in the car, which sends the signal to the (processor-GSM module) present somewhere. If installed at large scale (for e.g. in all buildings in a region) and with the option of sending the intrusion message to the nearby police station number, it becomes easy for the police to respond quickly and increase the chances of catching the thief red-handed. The owner of the building can select the mode of the system (home or work mode) or can turn it ON/OFF by sending the message from his own cellular phone. This makes the system versatile and thus improving human-system interface. The cost of the system can be further reduced by using a single GSM module and processor for a set of buildings and using RF communication for the interaction between the (processorGSM module).
