  2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

  3. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

    Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

  4. Camera trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_trap

    A camera trap with a passive infrared (PIR) sensor. A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by motion in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensor—usually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam. [1]

  5. Security alarm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

    The passive infrared (PIR) motion detector is one of the most common sensors found in household and small business environments. This sensor does not generate or radiate energy; it works entirely by detecting the heat energy given off by other objects. PIR sensors identify abrupt changes in temperature at a given point.

  6. Infrared search and track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_search_and_track

    These were fairly simple systems consisting of an infra-red sensor with a horizontally rotating shutter in front of it. The shutter was slaved to a display under the main interception radar display in the cockpit. Any IR light falling on the sensor would generate a "pip" on the display, in a fashion similar to the B-scopes used on early radars.

  7. Pyroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroelectricity

    Internals of a pyroelectric sensor. Pyroelectricity (from Greek: pyr (πυρ), "fire" and electricity) is a property of certain crystals which are naturally electrically polarized and as a result contain large electric fields. [1]

  8. Proximity sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_sensor

    Smartphone optical proximity sensor without the phone's casing. The sensor itself is the black object on top of the yellow block below it; this block is actually a printed circuit board serving as an interposer. A proximity sensor (often simply prox) is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

  9. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Motion_Sensing

    Gyroscopes measure the angular rate of rotational movement about one or more axes. Gyroscopes can measure complex motion accurately in multiple dimensions, tracking the position and rotation of a moving object unlike accelerometers which can only detect the fact that an object has moved or is moving in a particular direction.
