Last year, I took a look at some mostly low-cost passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules. Then recently, I became more aware of cheap microwave radar motion sensor modules. The popular version of ...

Your garden variety motion detector uses IR, but these days, there are fancier technologies for achieving similar goals. If so desired, you can source yourself a microwave-based presence sensor ...

Detection using today’s microwave sensors has some advantages. Unlike traditional passive infrared motion sensors, most microwave sensors can distinguish between moving and static objects, and objects ...

10maurycy10, an engineer who reverse engineers various devices, published the results of his analysis of the microwave radar sensor 'RCWL-0516' that sells for $1 (about 161 yen) on his blog. The ...

Presence/motion sensors are one of the best ways to make automations feel more natural, but most of them run on batteries and eventually have to be swapped. That’s one of the main reasons I really ...

Tempe, Arizona - Southwest Microwave continues aggressive expansion of its suite of INTREPID™ intelligent perimeter detection systems with the launch of the INTREPID UniZone™ Plug-and-Deploy Fence ...

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 ...

Bosch Security Systems continues its tradition of innovation in intrusion detection with the introduction of the Commercial Series family of motion detectors. The new family expands the Bosch ...

Why range-sensing applications are becoming more common. What’s the difference between radar and optical sensing? Why these sensors are better than using passive-infrared (PIR) technology. Anyone ...

As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...
