2. Motion detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

   A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

3. 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. PIR sensors detect general movement, but do not give ...

4. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Motion_Sensing

   However, initial size, power consumption and price had prevented their mass adoption in consumer electronics. While there are other kinds of motion detector technologies available commercially, there are four principle types of motion sensors which are important for motion processing in the consumer electronics market.

6. Security alarm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

   A passive infrared sensor used to detect motion. 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.

7. Sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor

   Different types of light sensors. A sensor is a device that produces an output signal for the purpose of detecting a physical phenomenon.. In the broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.
