  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. 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.

  4. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    Ambient light falling on the photoresistor causes the streetlight to turn off. Thus energy is saved by ensuring the light is only on during hours of darkness. Photoresistors are also used in laser-based security systems to detect the change in the light intensity when a person or object passes through the laser beam.

  5. 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.

  6. Security alarm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_alarm

    PIR sensors identify abrupt changes in temperature at a given point. As an intruder walks in front of the sensor, the temperature at that point will rise from room temperature to body temperature and then back again. This quick change triggers the detection. PIR sensors designed to be wall- or ceiling-mounted come in various fields of view ...

  9. Rhino Passive Infrared Defeat System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_Passive_Infrared...

    The Rhino Passive Infrared Defeat System (also known simply as Rhino) was an early detonation Counter-IED system. It was mounted to the front of a vehicle and used heat to prematurely detonate any hidden improvised explosive devices (IEDs) while the vehicle was at a safe distance away from the blast.
