A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...
