Burglar alarm system

 
A burglar alarm monitoring system will carry out the following actions:
The system is activated by keying in a password on a keypad.
The infra-red sensor picks up the movement of an intruder in the building.
The acoustic sensor picks up sounds such as footsteps or breaking glass.
The pressure sensor picks up the weight of an intruder coming through a door or
through a window.
The sensor data is passed through an ADC if it is in an analogue form to produce
digital data.
The computer/microprocessor will sample the digital data coming from these
sensors at a given frequency (e.g. every five seconds); the data is compared with
the stored values by the computer/microprocessor.
If any of the incoming data values are outside the acceptable range, then the
computer sends a signal to:
• a siren to sound the alarm, or
• a light to start flashing.
A DAC is used if the devices need analogue values to operate them.
The alarm continues to sound/lights continue to flash until the system is reset with a password.
