PIR Motion Sensor Burglar Alarm – Passive Infrared Detector
This PIR Motion Sensor Burglar Alarm uses a passive-infrared detector to sense body-heat and movement across its coverage zone, instantly triggering an alarm or alert when unauthorized motion is detected. With a detection angle typically around 90°–110°, effective range up to 8 – 10 m (varies by model), and simple wall-mount installation, it is designed for indoor protection of homes, offices, shops and storage areas. Ideal as part of a wired or wireless intrusion alarm system.
Features
-
Passive infrared (PIR) detection technology reliably senses moving heat sources (people) within its field of view.
-
Wide coverage angle (commonly around 90°–110°) and long detection distance (up to ~10 m) for effective monitoring of entryways or corridors.
-
Compact, low-profile housing that can be mounted on wall or ceiling, blending into interior decor while providing alarm coverage.
-
Compatible with standard burglar alarm systems (wired or wireless) and offers output relay or signal line for control panel integration.
-
Low-power consumption design, suitable for battery-powered or mains-powered installation, enhancing flexibility and reducing maintenance.
-
Adjustable sensitivity and delay options (on many units) to reduce false alarms from pets or minor movement, improving reliability.
