A 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), in collaboration with Heimann Sensor and the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), is developing ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Sensors vary widely and can monitor and detect a variety of sources, such as light, heat, motion, moisture, and pressure. Typical sensors used in smart cities can sense temperature, proximity, ...
