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. Motion detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

   A passive infrared detector mounted on circuit board (right), along with photoresistive detector for visible light (left). This is the type most commonly encountered in household motion sensing devices and is designed to turn on a light only when motion is detected and when the surrounding environment is sufficiently dark.

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. Infrared search and track - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_search_and_track

   An IRST sensor on a Sukhoi Su-35. An Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system (sometimes known as infrared sighting and tracking) is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation, such as the infrared signatures of jet aircraft and helicopters.

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. Driveway alarm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driveway_alarm

   Passive infrared Senses heat and motion. These sensors detect both vehicles and people but are prone to false alarms from animals. Magnetic probe Uses a magnetic coil to detect moving metal nearby. Will only alarm when a vehicle moves by and are generally more costly than the passive infrared units. Rubber hose
