Simple, Secure, Fast and Cheap.
Introduction
This project born to protect my house.
Transmitters
All the functions of this Home Alarm system will be activated and
deactivated by this little Rolling Code transmitter show in the photo (buy
at: http://www.e-madeinchn.com).
The Rolling Code is the most secure method to transmit data and reduce risk of scan. With this method the serial number of any transmitter is stored in the receiver at the learning time. This serial number is composed by many bits so to find it with a scanner it is impossible because it need many time. Four button for these
functions: |
External Sounder & Strobe
The AG8 is a microprocessor controlled external sounder with a built in strobe. It was designed for simple installation, and offers a wide variety of features and safeguards. Features include silent installation, and two flash settings, optional sounder settings (multi-sweep or two tone), selectable timer, simple testing, and diagnostic LED's that can be viewed after the covers are fitted (buy at: http://www.shssecurity.com price about 80 euro) .

Internal Sounder
ST-220: internal
sounder with one piezo speaker (buy at electric shop near my office,
price 10 euro)
|
Internal signal
I use an internal red light like this one, fix up my door, to know if the alarm is active (buy at electric shop near my office, price 10 euro). |
Sensors
CTC047: magnetic contact
for the door (buy at: http://www.shssecurity.com price about 10 euro) |
IMPACTOR: a
smart shock sensors for the door (buy
at:
http://www.shssecurity.com price
about 38 euro)

Alarm module
This module use these
components:
|
Many of these components are easy to find in any electronic shop and only the receiver module is got at http://www.e-madeinchn.com.
The blue led connected to the pin RA3 of microcontroller is used like a memory to know if the alarm has been activated by an event and its reset after a reactivation.
The red led connnected to the power supply before the 1N5406 diode is used to check the power supply connection.
Offcource the other 3 microled red near the relais are used to check the output state.
Alarm module firmware
To program the 16F876A Microchip microcontroller I have used the PICKIT 2 USB Development Programmer/Debugger (cod. PG164120 or DV164121) with a cost about 40-50$. |
I love the C language because it is very simple if compared to assembler.
The my C source has been compiled with
HI-TECH PICC-Lite™ Compiler. HI-TECH Software has provided a freeware HI-TECH PICC-Lite compiler as a tool for hobbyists and students, but the licence allows its use for commercial purposes as well. It is ideal as a teaching tool for an introduction into the 'C' language and embedded programing on a Microchip device. |
