What is a PIR
motion sensor?
PIR motion
sensor
- “Passive Infrared”…
- used to detect motion
within a set range
- Model: HC-SR501 https://www.rff.com/

 What are the
sensor’s parts?
How does it
work?
PIR detects the ff:
- moving or shaking &
- emitting infrared

CLARIFICATIO
NS“Does the PIR motion
sensor really detect the
presence of humans?”
- NO. It just detects the motion https://www.rff.com/

- (Then we can deduce or assume from that.)

How do we
connect it?
Additional
settings?
Detection range
