Aim
The aim of the project is to get the alert during a car theft.
Problem statement
Currently we don’t have a mechanism in place at our house to guard against automobile theft. We cannot prevent robberies that occur while we are asleep, even if we install surveillance cameras. This issue is resolved by the introduction of a security system that alerts the owner about the theft
Material used
Input: IR Proximity Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer
Battery: Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR PROXIMITY SENSOR
The function of IR proximity sensor is to detect the theft and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
BUZZER
The function of IR proximity sensor is to detect the theft and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
TinkerSpace Brain Board
The function of IR proximity sensor is to detect the theft and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case – 1: During car theft, the IR proximity sensor (input) turns OFF as it does not detect the car and sends the signal 0 to the TinkerSpace sensor board (brain). The sensor board turns ON the buzzer (output).
Case – 2: When the car is present, the IR proximity sensor monitors it andturns ON. Hence the sensor board turns OFF the buzzer.
IR proximity sensor OFF —> Buzzer ON
IR proximity sensor ON —> Buzzer OFF
