This Arduino-based night security light can protect your home/office from thieves/intruders at night. The light glows when movement is detected in front of the PIR sensor. Simultaneously, a piezo buzzer also sounds.

Features of the Night Security Light System:

  1. Automatic Activation: The light turns on when it’s dark and motion is detected by the PIR sensor.
  2. Duration Control: Upon detecting movement, the light remains on for ten seconds. If motion is detected again within this time, the countdown restarts.
  3. Daylight Sensing: The system remains off during daylight even if motion is detected.
  4. Incorporation of a Piezo Buzzer: A piezo buzzer sounds simultaneously with the light to alert during intrusions.
