Abstract :
The role of the passive infrared (PIR) motion detector is reviewed. It is noted that, currently, it is peripheral component of security systems, installed to overlook a specific area. Future needs for integrated building automation systems require more powerful sensors that approach true presence detection, in order to provide the basic information from every room: the presence of people. From such detectors, a complete picture of occupancy of a building is obtained which meets the needs of a security system as well as energy control and safety. A highly sophisticated self-learning sensor technology has been developed for these requirements. Several thousand detectors have been installed over the last few years in various buildings, with excellent results
