    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. 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.

    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

    1) "Strictly speaking, individual PIR sensors do not detect motion; rather, they detect abrupt changes in temperature at a given point using the Infrared radiation level" 2) "Moving objects of identical temperature, however, will trigger a detection because that is the sensor's job, to detect motion. It detects motion regardless of temperature.[4]
