they use very little power (since they’re passive) – very important for battery powered/wireless sensors.Question #3: Why do some PIRs in alarm systems have three LED lights yellow | red | green under the plastic sensor? I ask as perhaps they detect three different types of movement, so this might be related to the question and not off-topic. Question #2: Aside from microwave motion detectors potentially being problematic when they can detect movement through solid objects such as wooden walls, furniture, and glass which could lead to false alarms - why are they not used more frequently? I assume we should exclude sonar sensors since they are easily bypassed with a thin layer of fabric, such as wearing a bed sheet like a ghost, according to Myth Busters. It would be much more difficult to bypass if they detected movement. I ask this question because the above sensors can be blinded by a small glass picture frame placed over them, with a long pole. Question #1: Are there motion detectors which just detect motion, without the moving object having to radiate heat? I also understand there are some which are so sensitive they can even detect the body heat from fingers typing on a keyboard! The motion sensor will not activate unless both the microwave and PIR sensors are tripped.I grew up incorrectly believing that motion detectors (as part of burglar alarm systems) were designed to detect movement, when in actual fact it is the movement of a heated (like body heat) object which causes them to trip. All microwave motion sensors will also rely on the aforementioned PIR technology to detect movement. If a new person or object enters the detection area, it will change the pattern of these microwave signals. The motion sensor can detect how these signals bounce off of objects and return to the sensor. Microwave technology when used by motion detectors works by sending out microwave signals. These are referred to as dual-tech motion sensors. Some motion sensors use microwave technology, in addition to PIR technology. A lower pulse count will have the opposite effect. A higher pulse count will decrease device sensitivity by requiring a larger change in IR energy to set off the motion sensor. Many motion sensors have an adjustable pulse count that allows the user to increase or decrease device sensitivity. When a large enough change in IR energy is detected, the motion sensor will know to alert the system. A motion sensor can detect this IR energy based on a change in temperature. Every person and object gives off a very small amount of IR energy. This involves looking for the infrared (IR) energy that occurs with movement. Most motion sensors use passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect movement. The system must be Disarmed within an Entry Delay period, or else an alarm will occur. This will have the motion sensor operate much like an Entry/Exit Zone. Another option is to use Interior With Delay. By using a Response Type of Perimeter, an immediate alarm will occur if the motion sensor detects movement whenever the system is Armed.
These users might prefer the Perimeter Response Type instead. Some users may want their motion sensor to be activate whether their system is Armed Away or Armed Stay. Not every motion sensor will use the Interior Follower Response Type.
This way, you can still move freely throughout the building when your system is Armed Stay. However, the motion sensor will automatically be bypassed when the system is Armed Stay. Activating an Entry/Exit Zone is usually necessary for entering your home to Disarm. Activating the motion sensor while the system is Armed Away will cause an immediate system alarm, unless an Entry/Exit Zone is faulted first. This means that the motion detecting sensor will be active whenever the system is Armed Away. Most motion sensors are set up with an Interior Follower Response Type. Any intruder that enters will instantly set off the motion sensor, and the system will enter alarm.
Motion detector install#
Many users will install motion sensors in rooms with windows so that they can effectively cover these areas without using contact sensors or glass break detectors. If an intruder manages to enter your property without setting off your system, then your motion sensors will serve as a good fall back option for detecting unwanted activity. These sensors respond reliably to motion that occurs in the building while you are away. Adding some motion detecting sensors to your system is very important.
