Build a Trespassing Detector with Timestamp Log Using Arduino – Complete Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

An unwanted entry triggers a buzzer, flashes an LED, and records the exact date and time to onboard memory. Connect to your computer and read the intrusion log via the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. Perfect for school science projects, hobbyists, and young makers curious about real-world security systems.

What You'll Build

A working security sensor that detects motion using a PIR module and logs each event with a timestamp from the DS3231 real-time clock. The log is stored in the Arduino's EEPROM, so data persists even after power-off. You can retrieve the log any time, turning this into a practical evidence recorder.

What You'll Learn

• How PIR sensors detect heat signatures and trigger digital outputs
• Interfacing an I2C RTC module (DS3231) with Arduino
• Writing and reading data to EEPROM for persistent storage
• Outputting log data to the Serial Monitor and interpreting timestamps
