This document describes an AT89S52-based home security system that uses an IR sensor and GSM module. It detects intrusions and sends SMS messages to notify users. The system uses an AT89S52 microcontroller for processing, a GSM module for communication, an IR sensor for detection, and an LCD for display. When the IR sensor detects an obstacle, it sends a command to the microcontroller, which then sends an SMS alert via the GSM module. The system offers advantages like easy installation, worldwide access, and low cost, with potential disadvantages related to range and safety.
