Another illustration how to build a simple physical intrusion detection with laser and photoresistor (or light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photocell). This guide shows how to wire and build a laser tripwire that triggers an alarm or output when the laser is interrupted with any objects that pass. As you can see the diagram below it uses a module for this demonstration. There are two options to be followed here one is wiring manually and two wiring together with the prebuild modules. See the illustration below.
Components Required for Assembly
- ESP8266 Boards / Arduino Boards / Raspberry Pi / AVR
