Anti-Theft Alarm System

A multi-zone security system on a PIC18F45K22 microcontroller, with hand-soldered sensors, keypad, LCD and siren.

Stack
  • PIC18F45K22
  • mikroC
  • C
  • Digital electronics
  • Soldering

Overview

A multi-zone embedded security system that handles intrusion events in real time. It combines an LCD and keypad matrix for interaction, a siren for alarms, and magnetic door and PIR motion sensors for detection.

My role

Sole builder: I wrote the firmware in mikroC (MikroElektronika) for a PIC18F45K22 and assembled the hardware myself, soldering every component, from resistors and capacitors to the sensors and keypad.

Architecture & implementation

  • Firmware for the PIC18F45K22 written in mikroC.
  • Hand-assembled circuit: resistors, capacitors, door sensor, PIR motion sensor, keypad matrix, LCD and siren.
  • Real-time handling of intrusion events across multiple zones.

Key features

  • Multiple independently monitored zones
  • LCD and keypad interface
  • Magnetic door and PIR motion sensors
  • Siren output
