Glass is known to completely block infrared waves from a detector. Aluminium foil no answer.
Motion detectors are: infrared detectors, ultrasonic, microwave, radiowave and... dogs.
Infrared detectors are commonly used to detect wavelengths in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. They can be made using various technologies, such as thermopiles, pyroelectric detectors, and semiconductor-based detectors like InSb or HgCdTe detectors. These detectors convert infrared radiation into an electrical signal that can be analyzed or used for various applications.

Materials that can block infrared body heat detectors include thick layers of clothing, mylar thermal blankets, and materials with high thermal resistance like ceramics and metal foils. However, it's important to note that blocking body heat detection may be unethical or illegal in certain situations.
To effectively block infrared radiation, you can use materials that are opaque to infrared light, such as metal foils, certain types of glass, or specialized films designed to block infrared radiation. These materials can absorb or reflect the infrared radiation, preventing it from passing through.

An infrared detector needs a power source to operate and it is used to active a relay that can be used as a switch.
Yes, glass can block some infrared light, depending on the type of glass and its thickness.

Photo-electric (PE - as opposed to the ionization type of) smoke detectors do indeed use the reduction of light energy at the receiving end to "Sound The Alarm". Whether or not this is IR energy, I can't say. Might someone else please fill this in? Thanks.
