A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

PIR sensors are experiencing sustained growth in 2026 driven largely by the expansion of smart home technology and building automation.

HILDEBRAN, NC, April 10, 2013 – ELK Products is proud to announce the newest addition to the two-way wireless family, the ELK-6030 Wireless PIR Motion Sensor. The PIR works with the M1 control along ...

Motion detectors are widely known for their role in home security systems, but their usefulness extends far beyond guarding doors and windows. These compact devices can automate daily tasks, enhance ...

Many close-proximity motion detectors use the classic, widely available passive-infrared (PIR) approach, which is effective but has limited sensitivity and adjustability, and can’t “see” through ...

Motion detection has become an essential ingredient in traditional electronic security and now it is being utilized in access control and video surveillance systems. With more applications and so many ...

Kangaroo’s latest motion sensor adds entry detection to the mix, but its lack of geofencing capabilities or support for any type of security camera makes it tough to recommend. It’s one thing to snap ...

Panasonic Industry has announced its latest PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, a Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens) sensor. It includes PaPIRs+ (Panasonic Passive Infrared Sensors+), the ...

ICP DAS USA releases PIR-130-DC, a 1-channel passive infrared (PIR) sensor module that detects human-body generated infrared waves within a range of approximately 8 meters (315 inches) in diameter ...
