Detection Systems Motion Sensors
8 products
Motion sensors are electronic devices designed to detect movement within their environment. They are widely used in security systems, automation, and everyday devices to enhance convenience, safety, and energy efficiency. These sensors work by sensing changes in infrared radiation, microwaves, ultrasonic waves, or other environmental factors, triggering responses such as lighting up rooms, sounding alarms, or opening doors.

What Are the Key Features of Motion Sensors?
Motion sensors have several key features that ensure their functionality and integration into building systems. They are:
- Detection Technology: They use passive infrared (PIR), microwave (radar), or both to detect motion. PIR senses body heat, while microwave detects changes in reflection patterns with pulses.
- Coverage Area: These sensors are designed to cover large areas such as open offices, corridors, warehouses, and retail floors. The coverage area varies based on the sensor type and application.
- Adjustable Settings: The sensors typically include adjustable settings for sensitivity (distance and motion detection), time delay (how long lights stay on after motion stops), and sometimes ambient light levels (responding to light levels in the space).
- Integration Capabilities: They often integrate seamlessly with building automation systems (BAS), lighting controls, HVAC systems, and security systems. This integration allows for centralized management and improved energy efficiency.
- Occupancy vs. Vacancy Mode: Commercial sensors offer both occupancy mode (lights on when motion is detected, off when there is no motion) and vacancy mode (manually activated, automatically off when there is no motion). This flexibility supports various energy-saving strategies.
- Durability: They are built to withstand the demands of commercial environments, including temperature fluctuations, humidity, and potential physical impacts.
- Energy Efficiency: Modern sensors are designed to optimize energy usage by activating lights and HVAC systems only when needed, based on occupancy patterns.
- Security Features: Advanced sensors may include tamper detection, and alerting building management to potential sensor damage or tampering.
- Data and Analytics: Motion sensors in commercial spaces collect occupancy data, which can be analyzed to improve building operations and space utilization.
- Compliance and Standards: They are engineered to meet or exceed industry standards and building codes, ensuring safety, efficiency, and performance in commercial settings.
