A combination of plain mirrors M1 through M6 is used to direct the laser beam around the house to form a net. the laser beam is directed to finally fall on an LDR that forms the part of the reciever unit. An interruption of the beam by a thief will result into energisation of the alarm. the 3v power supply circuit is a conventional full wave rectifier-filter circuit.
The receiver unit comprises two identical step-down transformers (X1 and X2), two 6V relays (RL1 and RL2), an LDR, a transistor, and a few other passive components. When switches S1 and S2 are activated, transformer X1, followed by a full-wave rectifier and smoothing capacitor
C1, drives relay RL1 through the laser switch.
The laser beam should be aimed continuously in LDR. As long as the laser beam falls on LDR, transistor T1 remains forward biased and relay RL1 is thus in energised condition. When a person crosses the line of laser beam, relay RL1 turns off and transformer X2 gets energised to provide a parallel path across N/C contact and the pole of relay RL1. In this condition, the laser beam will have no effect on LDR and the alarm will continue to operate as long as switch S2 is on.
When the torch is switched on, the pointed laser beam is reflected from a definite point/place on the periphery of the house. Making use of a set of properly oriented mirrors one can form an invisible net of laser rays as shown in the block diagram. The final ray should fall on LDR of the circuit.

That's a pretty ingenious homemade system there. I happen to need some sort of security alarm now but I simply don't have the money for a big system, much less the monthly monitoring costs. I may have to brush up on my electronics skills and try to make one of these!
The circuit diagram for receiver unit is not working practically as per the explanation given(the alarm should continuously ring but it is not happening) . Have you noticed it. If so and any solution provide information about it.
