The PIR Motion Detector Sensor Module for Arduino, Raspberry Pi & IoT Projects detects motion by sensing changes in infrared radiation from warm bodies. An essential component for security systems, automatic lighting, and occupancy detection projects.
Key features
- Passive infrared detection with pyroelectric sensor
- Adjustable sensitivity via potentiometer (up to 7 meters)
- Adjustable delay time via potentiometer (5-200 seconds)
- Low power consumption ideal for battery projects
- Digital output (HIGH/LOW) for easy interfacing
- Wide detection angle of approximately 120°
- Repeatable and non-repeatable trigger modes
Good to know
- Allow 1 minute warm-up time after power-on for stable operation
- Avoid pointing toward direct sunlight or heat sources
- Sensitivity decreases in high ambient temperatures
- Lens cap color (white) affects detection range slightly
- Do not cover or obstruct the dome-shaped Fresnel lens
