I will need around 50 in the first batch. This is because I think that people would find my design would be useful. I will need to produce a PCB mask, and may need to use CAD/CAM to make my casing or a mould if I choose a product that uses vacuum forming.
To help me find which kind of product I am going to use, I am going to do some research. I am going to use the following things to help me:
- Questionnaires.
- An electronic shop
- CD-ROMS
- The internet
- The library
- magazines
- Newspapers
- Books
- Interviews
My product is going to be a simple circuit. The design will be for a door latch, that if the connection is broken when the timer is set, the alarm will go off. The name I am going to give it is “Breakalarm”™. It is associated with security as it gives awareness to the household owners. I say household, because the system isn’t capable of handling a large area. As you can already tell my design will target:
- Homes
- Small shops
I have chosen this design brief because it is a simple circuit and I feel that it is quite useful to our community. What I am going to do next is find a circuit the same, or one that is similar.
The reasons I need to research the problem is because:
- Without any structure to the design it will not work.
- I need to design a simple circuit and casing using only essential materials.
- I need to make it in the most discreet casing as it needs to be hidden from the burglars.
- It needs to blend in with the surrounding environments.
What I am going to do is first design or find a simple circuit that will allow if the the circuit breaks an alarm will go off-simple!! I will then design the casing it will go in. Finally after that I will test it.

- Expert opinions- electronic shops etc.

This product is a quite good design to prevent car thieves from breaking into the car. However, with two/ three people this device can de broken. They lean with their combined weight on one part of the device and the weight causes it to snap.
This Product is even better than the first because it deters thieves as well. However this one cannot be broken into; this is because it is completely round and cannot be leant on.
This design is good because it can blend into
The background and catch things the larger
Ones cannot. However, if the perpetrator
Doesn’t see it he will commit the crime
Anyway.
This design is a simple, cheap one. It is shown openly as to dare the perpetrators. However, some of the perpetrators think that there is no video recording device attached to it and still commit the crimes.
I am going to create a questionnaire that I will use to find out what people look for in an electronic safety device. It will have questions like how much would they pay and will ask approximately 10 people. I will go down to my local high street and ask a variety of people of race, religion, sex and age. After I have done this and I have the results I will make graphs and conclusions and analyze them.
