This document describes an anti-theft alarm system project using an 8051 microcontroller. It includes an introduction, circuit diagram, block diagram, component descriptions, advantages and applications. The system uses an IR transmitter and receiver, along with an 8051 microcontroller, LCD display, buzzer and power supply. It provides security for vehicles and homes in a simple, easy to understand design requiring continuous power. Future improvements could include sending data remotely, adding additional sensors and a voice alarm module.
