Thanks to the company’s technology and new pyroelectric ceramic materials, Murata was able to craft a smaller lead-free, surface-mount pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor. Thanks to the company’s ...

Panasonic Industry announces the launch of its latest innovation in PIR motion sensors: the Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens ...

Sometimes, projects start in somewhat unlikely places. This one began when [Istvan Raduly] scored a fake raven at a neighbor’s garage sale and decided to turn it into a thunder-and-lightning ...

A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...

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 ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...
