Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

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 ...

Detecting and measuring movement is an essential element for many industrial and commercial IoT applications – from lighting and security to assisted driving. Motion detection systems consist of a ...

[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sensors ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Here is one simple circuit of a general-purpose white LED security light with Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion sensing mechanism. At the heart of the circuit is a PIR sensor module SB0061. SB0061 is a ...
