Passive Infrared Radiation (PIR) sensor detects the change in infrared radiation of warm blooded moving object in its detection range. According to the change in infrared radiation, there will be a change in the voltages generated which was amplified and used to turn ON the webcam and lighting system through relay.

What is a PIR sensor and how does it work?

Passive infrared (PIR) sensors use a pair of pyroelectric sensors to detect heat energy in the surrounding environment. These two sensors sit beside each other, and when the signal differential between the two sensors changes (if a person enters the room, for example), the sensor will engage.

What is PIR security system?

The PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensors are designed for security & optimised to reliably detect people, large pets & other large warm moving objects. This means – security cameras smart enough to detect humans rather than sheets blowing in the wind.
