[ladyada] has a freshly-published and amazingly thorough tutorial on passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors. Most often seen in security floodlights and automatic doors, in creative hands these sens… ...

The BOM on [Jeremy S Cook]’s build is extremely short – just a PIR sensor and an optoisolator, with a battery, a plug for the camera’s remote jack, and a 3D-printed bracket.

High level output (3.3V) of pre-settable variable width (5Secs -18 Minutes) is provided. Circuit diagram of the PIR Motion Sensor Light and Switch based on SB0061 shown here can be used for security ...

PIR module usually requires an initial warm-up period for the sensing elements to come up to the operating mode. This usually takes not less than 30 seconds. So a 30 seconds delay is intentionally ...

(Passive InfraRed sensor) A device used to detect motion by receiving infrared radiation. When a person walks past the sensor, it detects a rapid change of infrared energy and sends a signal. PIR ...
