Multi-Zone PIR Alarm Panel Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Build a 4-Zone PIR Alarm Panel with Arduino — Instant Zone Alerts on LED & LCD
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a central panel that watches four rooms, lighting a dedicated LED and showing the zone ID on the LCD the moment motion is detected—then sounding an alarm. This kit lets you build that exact system, perfect for prototyping a home security setup or demonstrating multi-sensor monitoring in a school project.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a fully functional 4-zone PIR alarm panel. When someone enters a monitored area, the corresponding red LED glows, the 16x2 LCD instantly displays which zone triggered, and the active buzzer alerts you—all driven by an Arduino Uno brain that handles simultaneous sensor inputs without lag.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrating HC-SR501 PIR sensors for reliable motion detection across different room sizes
- Interfacing multiple sensors with Arduino and writing zone-discrimination logic
- Displaying real-time zone information on a 16x2 LCD using an I2C backpack for cleaner wiring
- Building a combined visual (LED) and audible (buzzer) alert system that reacts to specific zones

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11-12 students building security system projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE prototyping multi-sensor networks, Smart India Hackathon teams needing a reliable alarm demo, ATL Tinkering Lab members exploring embedded security, and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS engineering students working on zone-monitoring assignments.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to launch our AI companion; it walks you through wiring, code upload, and sensor calibration step by step. WhatsApp support is also available for tricky moments.
Can I expand the system to monitor more than four zones later?
The Arduino Uno has extra digital pins—you can add more PIR sensors by sourcing them separately and adapting the logic taught in the build guide.
Does the alarm panel remember which zone triggered after motion stops?
The default build keeps the LED and LCD alert active only while motion is detected. For persistent logging, you can modify the code, and our AI companion can guide you through that extension.
Is this kit suitable for a school science exhibition?
Absolutely. The instant visual and audible feedback makes it a compelling demo of real-world security tech, and many students have won prizes with similar zone-alarm projects.
Four HC-SR501 zones feed a central Arduino. Zone LED panel shows which zone triggered. Buzzer with zone ID on LCD.
