Motion Sensors: Powering Smart Automation and Security Solutions
Motion sensors are essential components in today’s smart technology ecosystem, playing a pivotal role in enhancing automation, security, energy efficiency, and user convenience. These devices detect physical movement in a designated area and trigger appropriate actions, making them indispensable in various applications—from home security systems to industrial automation and smart devices.
What is a Motion Sensor?
A motion sensor is an electronic device designed to detect movement—either of people, animals, or objects—within its range. Upon detecting motion, the sensor sends a signal to control a system or device, such as turning on lights, triggering an alarm, or activating cameras. Depending on the application, motion sensors use different detection technologies including Infrared (PIR), Ultrasonic, Microwave, and Tomographic systems.
