2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Photodetector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodetector

   Responsivity: The output current divided by total light power falling upon the photodetector. Noise-equivalent power: The amount of light power needed to generate a signal comparable in size to the noise of the device. Detectivity: The square root of the detector area divided by the noise equivalent power.

6. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   Light can be used to transmit data and analog signals. For example, lighting white LEDs can be used in systems assisting people to navigate in closed spaces while searching necessary rooms or objects. [100] Assistive listening devices in many theaters and similar spaces use arrays of infrared LEDs to send sound to listeners' receivers.

7. Induction loop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

   An induction or inductive loop is an electromagnetic communication or detection system which uses a moving magnet or an alternating current to induce an electric current in a nearby wire. Induction loops are used for transmission and reception of communication signals, or for detection of metal objects in metal detectors or vehicle presence ...
