The presented schematic shows how to build a simple PIR motion sensor. PIR sensors allow motion sensing, it is almost always used to detect whether someone has moved in or out of the sensors range.

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

Take a Si1120 Ir-LED sensor and seven infrared LEDs. Add in one ultra-low power C8051F930 MCU. Mix thouroughly. The result is Silicon Labs' $199 Si1120 Evaluation Kit. It could also be your next 3D ...

Combination flame & passive infrared motion sensor with two output modes including “And” detection and “Individual” modes. Designed to minimize nuisance alarms where fast acting spark/flame may be ...

I set up my $25 WyzeCam v2 with the PIR Motion Sensor and Sensor Bridge accessory to catch some hummingbirds feeding. I can't use video motion detection because the feeder is constantly swaying in the ...
