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.

4. Alarmo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarmo

   As a ‘smart’ alarm clock it has a 2.4 GHz WiFi connectivity for firmware and content download. Unlike traditional alarm clocks, Alarmo uses a 24 GHz mmWave presence sensor [4] to detect motion during sleep and waking up. [2] The longer the user stays in bed without moving, the louder and more intense the sound of the alarm will become.

5. Security alarm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

   A newer type of the smoke detector is the photoelectric smoke detector. It contains a light source, which is positioned indirectly to the light sensitive electric sensor. Normally, light from the light source shoots straight across and misses the sensor. When smoke enters the chamber, it scatters the light, which then hits the sensor and ...

6. Principles of motion sensing - Wikipedia

   Hence, gyroscopes greatly enhance the motion sensing capabilities of devices and are used for advanced motion sensing applications in consumer devices such as full gesture and movement detection and simulation in video gaming. The Nintendo Wii MotionPlus accessory and the Nintendo 3DS incorporate gyroscopes.

7. 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.
