Motion Detector Circuit

Introduction to Motion Detector:

The motion detector is not only used as intruder alarm but also used in many applications like home automation system, energy efficiency system, etc. The motion detector will detect the motion of the people or objects and give the appropriate output according to the circuit. In general, motion detector uses different types of sensors like Passive infrared sensor (which will detect the motion of the person using the person body heat), microwave sensor (Microwave sensor will detect the motion of person by measuring the change in frequency from the produced beam), ultrasonic sensor (It produces acoustic signals which will detect the motion of a person) etc.  There are some motion detectors which will use different technology and include number of sensors (PIR, microwave sensor, ultrasonic sensor, etc.) to reduce the false triggering and increase the accuracy in motion detection.
Here is the simple and reliable circuit which uses IR sensor for transmitting the IR beam and photo transistor for receiving the IR beam. If there is any disturbance or interference in between the transmitting and receiving of the beam, it will justify that there is an intrusion and makes the alert through alarm. This is circuit is easy to construct and cost of circuit is very low when compared to normal motion detector.

Block Diagram of Motion Detector:

IR sensor will produce the high frequency beam which is projected on the photo transistor with the help of 555timer at the transmitter. When this high frequency beam has got any interruption, the photo transistor will trigger the 555 timer of receiver section and gives alert through the alarm.

Motion Detector Circuit Explanation:

  • The IR sensor will make the high frequency beam of 5 kHz with the help of 555timer which is set to astable multivibrator mode at the transmitter section.
  • The IR sensor will produce the high frequency beam which is received by the photo resistor at the receiver section. This frequency will be in one phase when there is no interruption between the IR sensor and photo transistor.  Total circuit will not give any output in this phase. When there is an interruption between IR sensor and photo transistor, the beam produced by the IR sensor will be in different phase. This different phase will be immediately detected by the photo resistor and make the 555 timer to give alarm through speaker.
  • When there is no intrusion, the photo transistor will make the pin2 high of 555timer which is set in monostable mode, and there will be no output given in this configuration. When there is intrusion, the pin 2 of monostable timer is made low which will make the alarm to alert. The alarm time depends on the capacitor C1 and variable resistor POT.
Main Components in Motion Detector Circuit:
IR sensor: the main concept of IR sensor is to produce a beam of infrared light (whose wave wavelength is longer than visible rays and shorter than microwaves, in normal infrared wave length should be greater than 6µm). IR sensors are based on three different laws they are planks radiation law, Stephan Boltzmann law and Wien’s displacement law.
  • Planks Radiation Law states that the energy of electromagnetic radiation is confined to indivisible packets (quanta), each of which has energy equal to the product of the Planck constant and the frequency of the radiation (planks constant = 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg /s).
  • Stephan Boltzmann Law states that total energy radiated per unit on a black body using  all wavelengths per unit time J* is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body’s thermodynamic temperature T:
Formula for J in Motion Detector
  • Wien’s Displacement Law:  the wavelength of maximum emission of any body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin).  As a result, as the temperature rises, the maximum (peak) of the radiant energy shifts toward the shorter wavelength (higher frequency and energy) end of the spectrum.
Peak intensity occurs at this wavelength ƛ =(0.0029 meter.K)/Temperature in Kelvin
In IR sensor the infrared source and transmission of infrared are two important parts. In infrared source, there are different sources like black body radiators, tungsten lamps, silicon carbide in IR sensors. They will use infrared wavelength LED as infrared source. In transmission media it will be different like air, optical fiber etc.
Photo Transistor: Photo transistors are the detectors of IR radiation or any photo radiation. They will convert this IR radiation into current or voltage.

Applications of Motion Detection:

  • Motion detectors can be used as an intruder alarm in home, offices, banks, shopping malls etc.
  • They can be used as counting machines, automatic light control etc.
  • They can be used in energy efficient systems, home automation system and control systems.

LED DIMMER WITH CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

In this circuit, at the starting LED glow slowly, then grown brighter and once again slowly it became dim. The basis of the whole circuit is an operational amplifier IC named LM358. Circuit Diagram of LED Lamp Dimmer: LED Lamp Dimmer Circuit Diagram – ElectronicsHub.Org Working of LED Lamp Dimmer Circuit: LM358 is mainly made up of a package which contains two not dependent operational  amplifiers of high gain. The most significant attribute of these IC is that we have no need of the  independent power supply for the functioning of each comparator till the large range of the power supply. LM358 can be employed like transducer amplifier or can be worked as DC gain block etc. The huge DC voltage gain of the LM358 IC is 100db. For the only power supply this IC can work on the voltage range of 3V to 32V while for the twin power supply this IC work on the range of ±1. 5V to ±16V . And moreover large output voltage is also supported by it. Related Post: PWM L...

Automatic Railway Gate Controller with Circuit Diagram

The main aim of this project is to operate and control the unmanned railway gate in the proper manner in order to avoid the accidents in the unmanned railway crossing. In a country like ours where there are many unmanned railway crossings, accidents are increasing day by day. These train accidents are due to the absence of human power in the railway. In order to overcome the accidents due to the above problem we have planned to design the project. Automatic Railway Gate Control System with High Speed Alerting System is an innovative circuit which automatically controls the operation of railway gates detecting the arrival and departure of trains at the gate. It has detectors at the far away distance on the railway track which allows us to know the arrival and departure of the train. These detectors are given to microcontroller which activates the motors which open/close the railway gate correspondingly. Another feature of this circuit is that it has an intellige...

Rain Alarm Project

Water is basic need in every one’s life. Saving and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an easy project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions and save the rain water. As a result, we can increase the water levels of underground water by using underwater recharge technique. Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used in the irrigation field, home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and reliable circuit of rain water detector which can be constructed at low cost. Rain Alarm Project Block Diagram: Rain water sensor is the main component in the circuit. For this rain sensor, no need to go and buy in the market or online. We can do it ourselves just by taking the piece of Bakelite or mica board and aluminum wire. Bakelite or mica board should be made completely flat and aluminum wire should be pasted on the flat board as shown in the figure below o...
