We all have a doorbell at our homes. When a visitor comes to our house, he searches for the doorbell switch and then rings it to let us know his presence. If the who came to our house cannot find the doorbell or else if the person is so short that he cannot reach the doorbell, what can be done? How will it be if we use an automatic doorbell which rings as soon as a person arrives at our place? There are no more hassles. The person who comes to our house need not search for the doorbell and press it any more. If we install this automatic doorbell using object detection circuit, the circuit will automatically sense the presence of the person and it rings the doorbell.
Circuit Diagram of Automatic Door Bell:
Using Object Detection
This circuit operates using a pair of ultrasonic transmitter and receiver modules which are used to detect the person and then if the person is detected, the door bell is automatically turned ON when the person is in-front of the door.
The ultrasonic transmitter operates at a frequency of about 40 Kilo-Hertz. That means it continuously transmits the ultrasonic waves of about 40KHz. The power supply should be moderate such that the range of the transmitter is only about one or two meters.
If the transmitting power is less than one meter, then there is a chance that the person who is one meter away is not detected. Also, if the range is set to be very large, then it may lead to false triggering, meaning that, the objects far away from our door are considered as the visitors and the alarm rings. This can be a nuisance for us if the alarm rings for every object or person far away. So, to avoid both the problems, the transmitting power is kept to an optimum level.
Important Post: What is Panic Alarm and How its Circuit Works?
The ultrasonic receiver module receives the power at the frequency same as that of the transmitter’s so that noise will be eliminated and we get less false triggering. The sensitivity of the receiver can be tuned by using the 500K-ohm variable resistor arranged as a pot in the circuit. By tuning this properly, we can achieve the desired results. The output of our circuit is given to a buzzer circuit which acts as a doorbell in our case. The receiver in this circuit uses IC LM324 which is internally has four op-amps. Out of the four op-amps, we are using only four of them and leaving the other one unused as it is not much required in our case. The three op-amps are used in cascaded arrangement to provide high gain as well as noise free output.
An opto coupler is used at the output to avoid any interaction between our circuit and the door bell.
Assemble the circuit on a PCB as compactly as possible and then attach it to your main door. Thats it! You may provide a power supply using a 9V DC adapter with filtered and regulated output. If the 9V adapter with regulated output is not available, then we recommend you to use a 12V unregulated DC adapter with 7809 voltage regulator.

I am appreciating you for providing this much quality content.
Thanx for detailed description. You provided detailed quality content.
I want To Ask Where We have Connect Buzzer U cant Show Buzzer in Circuit Diagram Thanks
Connect with relay
exactly what relay can do??how to get the sound of bell??? will reciever or transmitter produces ultrasonic sounds or wat???
Very briefly explain soon apply on my house
I hope this circuit works because at the moment i am making this project for our final term. Thank you for giving the exact details for this circuit.
i am also thinking to make this as my final year project.Will you please tell me does is work or not?
Yes, it works perfectly if you do it carefully.
I’m having trouble making this circuit function, can you please help me work on it? Get back to me @ kumsvasanthi@gmail.com
what are the materials that you need to make this automatic door bell?
please try to check the circuit diagram.
we believe that the components mentioned in the circuit diagram are clear and sufficient.
I’ve been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
really good….i will say to my friends about this….
Sir, please give me the detailed information about this. I am beginner. So please give me details.
its very nice and i took it for my mini projects and as well as i fix it to my home
Dear Sir,
I’m really happy to read this project and also interested in this product. I need your help please.
Thank you
Its very nice i’ll make it in my home
Can you please provide the pcb design of this circuit
is it a software project???
hey i wanna do this as my final term project so can u mail me all details to my email id
chrismatt02@gmail.com
where we will connect the buzzer circuit.??? please help me!!!!!
Across the NO relay contacts
sir, is there any polarity for connecting the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver. I’m getting a 8.5V across the transmitter and only 2V across the receiver. But my circuit is not working. pls help me. I’m doing this as my mini project in my college. Its urgent pls help me. Thank you.
Probably. You will need to refer to the datasheet / instructions for the ultrasonic tx/rx modules you have chosen.
Please can you give me the details of how the circuit work, at what meter can he sense the visitor. Is a very nice project…. Thanks.
Sir, can I use NE555 timer instead of 7555. Is there any other adjustments to be made.
what is the value of the diode?does it works?
what is advantage of automatic door bell that it will replace conventional(switch type)? can it detected only human being? or it can detect anything.like animal, object ect.please reply me
Sir, please give me the detailed information about this project…
this is beautiful project,i jst want to know where i connect the buzzer so that it rings??please tell me.
Sir, is that ic 7555 equal NE555 ? tell me full ic number or send me image of ic 7555. & tell me equal ic of ic 7555….? plz
sir.,
is this ic 7555 equal to NE555 ?? plz tell me full ic number of IC 7555 or send me image of IC7555….?? tell me equal ic of ic 7555…?
its good and its what l want to design in my final of study as my project
I would like to build this, however, I think you’ve missed a couple of joints or bridges on your second horizontal line from the top. I don’t know if a wire is to connect or jump over others.
This could be one reason why some people cannot make it work & I’m surprised nobody has caught it.
I understand the “buzzer” circuit is separate, to keep the values steady in the original circuit. But if the relay itself is being used as a buzzer, it’s not going to be very audible. And this is also probably why people are asking where is the buzzer.
Can the buzzer relay be connected to a sound chime to act as a push button start?
From my little search online, it seems this is the ONLY doorbell of it’s type with object detection. So your help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
please send the full working of project .it would be helpfull .
it would had have been better if you provide the working description of the circuit.
miniproject
This is nice. I want to do it as my final year project work in school. Please what are the shortcomings in the automatic door bell object detector? What are the specific objects it can detect?
It detects any object that is placed between IR transmitter and receiver
Are there any programing involved in this circuit?…If I were to connect a Lcd..where would I connect it???thank you for your reply….
Programing is not required for this circuit..
Anusha may please help me with a schematic that is working cause i did the one above and its not working, my email: sbumpantsha15@gmail.com please any if does has it am begging
part ( componante ) list not given , give part list
what would u do if any pets r came at the door often ?
What is the use for the circuit at the left bottom? it is connect to buzzer?
And one more question…can i replace the adapter with a 12v or 9v battery?
Im having some douts please someone help me out.500.ohm variable resistor?not available anywhere.then where can i connect the speakers and the final one is what is the purpose of ultrasonic transmitter and reciever.please help im stuck in the middle of this project
Block diagram of automatic door bell with object detection and explanation
Our automatic door bell with object detector rings every 5pm everyday even without someone in the door..we check the detector if it has timer but there is none. we’ve been using this for years in the old clinic and it was not happening. but since we moved to the new place the detector ringing every 5 pm .is it possible that there is some circuit problem? we’re very skeptical on this matter coz we think the place is haunted..
our automatic door bell with object detector is ringing even without any object or person in front of it at exactly 5pm everyday.. is it possible ?
y are we using ultrasonic sensors and how does it work?do they have any polarity?please explain me the ultrasonic part….please please please.
Sir does is work or not pleseee
Why would the author publish the circuit if it did not work?
This is a good project and i like it. can you help me with its block diagram? its Urgent,im presenting tomorrow!!
Thank you.
please i wont to construct automatic door bell with object detector as my project,can i get more details and help
please help me with full working of project
Please tell me where the buzzer put?thanks
I need it for my project please reply,thanks.
Please help me . due to some reason led keeps blowing …. And how to connect ldr to relay ….pls reply
what is advantage of automatic door bell that it will replace conventional(switch type)? can it detected only human being? or it can detect anything.like animal, object ect.please reply me

What does 1M means ????
Sir,am using this project as a mini project,but I didn’t get the output,can u please send me the video of this project.
Thank you
Very nice tutorial. I am very interested going to make this.
When this circuit is at night will start ringing.How we can prevent this?And make the circuit only ring when human is there?
Thanku for providing this much of use full videos
I want to do this project, can you please provide me the detailed list of components used in this project ?
how do I connect the relay to a buzzer and what’s the rating for the relay?
This idea is good…but any one cross this door or children play this side.then what happen??
Glad to be one of the visitors on this awing site :D.
Right here is the right blog for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.
You realize a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not
that I personally would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that
has been discussed for many years. Great stuff, just wonderful!
The is very unique I like it so much, actually I tried myself to connect it many times. but, unfortunately it did not work. it cost much because I choose it as my diploma project.
thanks for your efforts, but I hope you check it again.
could you please elaborate on your problem.
