Grove - Digital PIR motion sensor (12 m)

Digital PIR sensor from Grove

Description

This digital PIR sensor from Grove detects movement in a range of up to 12 m and emits "high" and "low" signals.

What is a PIR sensor?
A passive infrared sensor measures infrared light emitted by objects and is used in motion detectors and security applications.

What does a PIR sensor detect?
PIR sensors are also known as PID or passive infrared detectors. The PIR sensor can therefore detect infrared radiation emitted by particles.

How does the PIR sensor work?
The sensor detects infrared radiation and reacts to changes when a human body or an animal passes by.

Features

• Fast response: detects movement in less than 1 second
• Large detection range: 3.2 m - 12 m
• Easy to use: Plug-and-play (for Arduino and Raspberry Pi)
• Grove unit interface: for versatile application possibilities

Applications

• Motion sensor
• Motion detector
• Security alarm system
• Human detection system

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. 

We offer various Grove shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers .
