Is PIR a common device used for detecting motion indoors on a security alarm system?
Yes it is, a PIR stands for Passive InfraRed, which detects heat signatures. For a higher level of security, I would recommend dual band motion detectors with PIR and Microwave Detection capability.
What is a PIR alarm system?
Passive Infra Red, detects movement and heat...
Effect of temperature on specific heat of material?
The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.
Does a PIR sensor work at night?
Yes a PIR sensor does work at night. In general, they work better at night than during the daytime.
How does colour effect heat and temperature?
for me color effect heat is red..because red is a very colorful into your eyes

How does the PIR sensor works?
Passive infra-red (PIR) motion detectors used in security systems are basically heat radiation detectors, sensing the motion of a heat source (infra-red radiation) to detect an intruder. They have a photo-diode that is sensitive to the heat radiation frequencies emitted by the human body, and a special lens that looks at 20 - 30 narrow fields within the protected space. They 'see' the temperature of the background, and any rapid change to this temperature is considered to be a suitable trigger. A person (or animal) moving in the space will move in and out of the fields of view, giving infra-red images to the detector in a rapid 'now you see me, now you don't' pattern. This generates a series of pulses in the photo-diode as the heat source moves into and out of the fields of view of the PIR lens system. Even if part of your body is at the same temperature as the background, other parts will be at different temperatures, and will probably be detected. (Your head is hotter, your hands are cooler.) Slow changes in the infra-red signature of the room are ignored, as are single pulses, which may be environmental changes (air conditioners) or electrical noise (RFI). Most modern PIR detectors count the number of times a target appears and disappears from their view, and if it happens (say) 3 times in 5 seconds, they will 'trip' and give an alarm signal. Other detectors analyse the pattern of changes to the heat signal to see if it's human, animal or environmental. These detectors don't emit any light, they simply look for other sources of heat radiation (hence, 'passive'.) Other devices, such as microwave detectors or ultrasonic detectors, emit a signal and look for the 'doppler effect' frequency shift that a moving target will cause in the reflected signal. Like 'break-beam' detectors, they are 'active' detectors.
A very simple explanation of working principle of PIR sensor by a very simple example?
The PIR sensors use the detectors or pyroelectric sensors to work. Example include the automatic door openers.
What is the side effect of metal detectors?
The side effect of metal detectors is that it prevents the use of weapons and it also prevents violent crimes. The side effect of metal detectors is that it prevents the use of weapons and it also prevents violent crimes.
What is a PIR alarm system?
Passive Infra Red, detects movement and heat...
Which zone is smoke or heat detectors?
The smoke or heat detectors have a 128 wireless zone. It is also stated that the detectors that have a 128 wireless zone also provide both real time and event scheduling capabilities.
Can a PIR Motion sensor be used to detect humans or human movement?
A PIR Motion sensor detects the minute changes in heat and infrared radiation rather than movement.
What is the use of thermistor in fire alarm?
They are the central component in heat detectors which detect heat.
What is the distance between heat detectors?
5M Detector to Detector
Which zone is used for smoke or heat detectors?
panic zone
What is pir?
A PIR normally refers to a passive infra-red detector. These are the detectors typically used in security systems to detect movement of people. They are normally found with a small translucent window in the front of the detector. The detector works by measuring the infra-red radiation (heat) from the field of view in front of the translucent lens. When the radiation levels change or a heat source moves, the output of the detector is triggered. Normal security use will detect a person moving in the field of view but they can be far more sensitive and detect movements of far smaller animals.
Can you use fire panel heat detectors as stand alone units?
no
