Once you have all the required items, you can begin to assemble your DIY Perimeter Alarm. Here are the steps on how to assemble the Perimeter Alarm:

- Attach the BC557 transistor to the breadboard and connect the wire to the negative side.
- Connect the resistor to the breadboard, at the negative side and attach it to the base terminal of the transistor.
- Attach a 9V battery clip to the breadboard, at the negative side and connect it to the collector terminal of the transistor.
- Connect a switch to the breadboard, at the positive side and connect it to the emitter terminal of the transistor.
- Connect the 9V battery clip to the switch, at the positive side.
- Attach a wire to the switch and position it outside the perimeter of the area you wish to protect, providing the alarm will be effective when the wire is breached.
- Turn on the switch and the alarm is now all set.
