Introduction: Intruder Detection Calling System
INTRODUCTION
I have made a simple device called "Intruder Detection Calling System" using arduino. This device sends a call on the telephone number feeded in the code, whenever it senses any movement. It is a portable device which can be easily installed on the main gate of the house. It is useful when the residents have gone out and the house is empty. In such a scenario, if somebody tries to break in, my device can sense movement and alert the owner by sending a call on his mobile phone.
Step 1: Material Required
- Arduino uno / nano - I have used arduino nano in my device but it should work perfectly with arduino uno as well.
- A bread-board for mounting arduino nano
- PIR sensor
- SIM900 GSM/GPRS MODEM W/RS232
- A SIM card
- Some male to female wires
- A 9 Volt battery
9V battery cap with DC barrel
I bought all these materials from Makerskart.
Step 2:
The number of the SIM card that you'll be using in the device should be saved in the contact list of the house owner. It can be saved as " Somebody's trying to break in" or "Alert!!" or whatever the owner feels like.
Step 3: Assembling the Device
Connecting SIM900 GSM/GPRS MODEM W/RS232 with Arduino
SIM900 GSM/GPRS MODEM W/RS232 -- Arduino
RX -- D10
TX -- D9
GND -- GND
Connecting PIR Sensor with Arduino
PIR Sensor -- Arduino
VCC -- 5 V
OUT -- D5
GND -- GND
Step 4:
- After the wiring is complete, insert the SIM card in SIM900 GSM/GPRS MODEM W/RS232.
- Power the SIM900 GSM/GPRS MODEM W/RS232 with the help of the 9V battery.
- Once powered, the green LED on the MODEM blinks repeatedly. However, when the MODEM detects a mobile network, the green LED on it blinks once in every 3 seconds. Now, the MODEM is ready for use.
- Next, power the arduino.
Step 5: Uploading the File
Once everything is ready, open your arduino IDE, choose the correct board, processor (if required), port and upload the file which has been attached.
