Laser Tripwire Alarm



No security system is complete without lasers. We have all seen movies where the main character has to get past a high tech security system and there is always a room full of lasers somewhere.

So in this project, I show you how to build a laser tripwire alarm.  All you need is a cheap laser point, a couple of mirrors, and a few dollars of electrical parts. With this you can cover an entire house with an array of light beams. If any one of them is crossed it sets off your alarm. And unlike in the movies, these lasers are practically invisible.

This system is fast and easy to set up and it is battery powered. So you can set it up anywhere. You can make this a standalone alarm or it can be integrated into a larger DIY security system.
