Do It Yourself Laser Home Security
| by Tal Siach on March 5, 2008 in DIY (Do It Yourself) |
Were you ever amazed at the laser alarms we have seen in many action films? Have you ever wished you could have one for your home? Would a laser security system in your home help you sleep better and leave you at ease when you are away? Now you can make one by yourself thanks to Kipkay.
The Do It Yourself video below provides step by step directions how to make your own laser home security system. It tells you exactly what materials are needed and how to put it all together.
Unfortunately, this DIY project is not as simple as one may hope, since it deserves some soldering, electronics, and actual work. In addition, because it is made as a home security device, it should not be just put together with haste but done correctly.
While it may not be as intricate as the ones we see in the movies, it is pretty impressive and effective.
If you do decide to take on the task of making this project come to life, we would love to hear how it went for you.
Have Fun!

Hi Patricia,
Seems simple enough doesn’t it. This is definitely a cool alternative, and a really cool DIY for your home security.

so if it just plugs in all you have to do is shut the power off to the house and this alarm is disabled seems pretty bad to me

Actually the siren and photo cell is ran by a 9-Volt battery, only the laser is powered through an outlet. So if the house loses power the alarm will trip.

i dont know what half that stuff is, nor where to buy it. i’d consider making it if it were in simpler terms with more detailed instructions, because it is a good idea in theory, just a bit too hard for the average person in my opinion.

kind of a bad idea…..
Use a laser, which you can easily see with some chalk and evade by slipping under it, or use a conventional infrared motion detector, which scans the entire space for movement…
This is why these laser security systems only exist in the movies

K this is good if you’re at home.
Most burglaries probably don’t take place when people are home so what good is a little siren going to do?

which no burglar would see? LMFAO!! come on, weve all seen lasers. in a black room the emitter and the photocell would be SUPER bright red, which he even showed in his video. but dont worry, burglars are STUPID, and wouldnt know what the red thing is.. maybe its an evil bug on the wall?

First off haters this is a great idea. For one a burgler would not see it, unless that is they can peer through solid doors or walls. If they could why would they be hitting your house and not a bank? Secondly the average burgler will run scared if they hear any noise it could even be squeaky toy and no burgler will cut the power. Who brings chalk to a house? It is not mission impossible. Its get in take your boose spare change and keys not your mona lisa or other priceless art.

Hi Everyone, thanks for your comments.
We haven’t tried this ourselves but thought it was a cool DIY to share with all our readers.
It is definitely not a simple one, but still fun to see how it is done.
Hope to see you all again.

hahaha for people talking about cutting the power and chalk dust…. have you ever seen your average thief?
I’ll give you a clue, they’re not breaking into houses because they’re intelligent.
and if I broke into a house my first thought is going to be ‘Do they have a dog?’ vs. ‘Do they have a home-made laser alarm gaurding the doors?’
hah which is more common do you think?

this seems like an idea that a home security company should definitely invest some time and research into

This is a terrible setup.
The alarm will only sound for how long the laser beam is broken..
If a person walked through it, the alarm would be on for like .2 secconds LOL
Use a PIR motion detector.
p.s. why does he talk like he so amazing for making this crummy little circuit?

…If you put it where a door is going to be ajar at all it will stay on no matter how far it is open. Besides All you need is .2 seconds to scare the hell out of a thief. After that he is going to bolt to the nearest crack dealer.

Comment by junlite — March 25th, 2008 @ 10:20 am
a 555 timer is needed in addition to the circuit, so that the alarm once triggered runs continiously till the time u wanna
