Introduction to PIR Motion Sensor on Camovue Camera

In this article, we will explore the PIR motion sensor featured in Camovue cameras. This sensor plays a crucial role in detecting motion accurately, providing enhanced security for your space. Let’s dive into how it works and how to install it for optimal performance.

What Is PIR Motion Sensor?

PIR Sensor Function: PIR sensors detect infrared radiation emitted by objects based on their temperature. The sensor's detection capability is based on changes in the infrared radiation that occurs when a warm body, like a human or animal, moves in front of the sensor. The sensor works by detecting the difference between the infrared radiation emitted by the environment (such as a wall or background) and that of a moving object (like a person or animal).

Voltage Conversion: The PIR sensor converts the detected infrared radiation change into an electrical signal. This signal is used to activate an alarm or trigger a motion event. If warm objects move in front of the sensor, they can cause detection if their infrared patterns differ from the background.

The PIR sensor is essential for the camera's alarm detection, serving as the foundation for recording, image capture, push notifications, and other alarm-triggered actions. Therefore, proper camera positioning and optimal PIR configuration are crucial. Below are articles on camera installation and PIR setup for your reference.

How to Adjust PIR Sensor Angle of Camovue Camera?

The Camovue camera with PIR sensor has specific detection distance and range parameters. For exact details, refer to the camera’s product specification page. Movements outside this range cannot be detected. The image below provides a reference for the recommended installation height and distance.

Side-by-side movement is more likely to trigger the PIR sensor than movement heading straight toward the camera. As the object moves, it causes continuous changes in infrared radiation within the sensor’s field of view, increasing the sensitivity of triggering an alarm.

To summarize, the PIR motion sensor on Camovue cameras ensures precise detection and minimal false alarms. With its advanced features, you can trust your camera to keep you informed.
