Need to design a simple and useful security alarm then you can refer this IR Based security Alarm using 555 timer prototype. In this circuit IR (Infra Red) beam acts as a Invisible fence, whenever the IR Rays are blocked then this circuit will produce alert sound through loud speaker.
This circuit has two stage, first one is IR emitter & IR receiver stage then second one is Astable Multivibrator timer circuit, Here the timer circuit Reset pin is Accessed by the IR stage hence the multivibrator oscillates when the IR rays blocked.
Transmitter Circuit Proximity Detector Circuit Using 555 timer IC As shown in the figure 1, two 555 timers (IC 1 and IC 2) wired in astable mode comprises the transmitter mode for proximity detector circuit. This part of circuit performs the work of driving an infrared LED; named as IR LED 1 in the figure 1. The output of the 555 IC is connected to an IR LED through a button. Coming to the IR Receiver circuit, the output of the TSOP 1738 is active low i.e. Normally the output stays high and when it detects the infrared light, the output goes low. Hence, we used a PNP transistor to light up an LED whenever the IR Receiver detects infrared signal. IR Detector Circuit using 555 Timer IC In this circuit, we are going to demonstrate an application related to IR sensors which is IR Detection using 555 Timer IC. Here we have used IR LED or TV/DVD remote as a IR transmitter and Photo Diode as IR Receiver to detect the IR signal.

Construction & Working
Here IC 555 timer is configured in Astable multivibrator mode and Reset pin is connected with Q1 transistor collector terminal, this Q1 transistor acts as a switch and connects the Reset pin to Ground if the IR rays received by photo diode and connects with positive supply if there IR rays blocked.
The IR LED gives IR rays continuously and it should be placed towards photo diode in straight line.
Here the timer IC output frequency is depends on the timer Resistor R4, VR1 and timer capacitor C2, by varying VR1 we can get different level output sound at loud speaker.
