Bookmark or Share- How PIRs Work | PIR Motion Sensor | Adafruit Learning SystemWhen a warm body like a human or animal passes by, it first intercepts one half of the PIR sensor, which causes a positive differential change between the two halves. When the warm body leaves the sensing area, the reverse happens, whereby the sensor generates a negative differential change.
- Passive infrared sensor - WikipediaA 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.
- PIR Motion Sensor Hookup Guide - SparkFun LearnUsing the PIR sensor is simple: power it up, connect a pull-up resistor to the open-collector signal pin, and watch for it to go low. The PIR can sense abrupt changes in scenery as far as 10 feet (~3m) away. Once your microcontroller is sensing movement, it can trigger a buzzer, text message, tweet, or a klaxon.
- Passive Infrared Sensor - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsA passive infrared (PIR) sensor (Fig. 5) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They’re most frequently utilized in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly utilized in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.
- Overview | PIR Motion Sensor | Adafruit Learning SystemPIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive, low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. For that reason they are commonly found in appliances and gadgets used in homes or businesses.
