Why Do Insects and Small Animals Set Off PIR Motion Detectors?
Motion detectors respond to infrared (IR) energy. Since insects and rodents emit IR energy, they can activate motion sensors if they get close enough. Learn about motion sensors.
Added:

Dual Tech Motion vs. Traditional Motion
There are two main types of motions. There are dual-tech motions that use both PIR and microwave, and there are traditional motions that only use PIR. Learn about motion sensors.

What Is a Motion Detector?
Motion sensors represent one of the most commonly used security sensors in homes and businesses. These devices are used to detect movement. Find out what a motion detector is.
Added:

How are Motion Detectors Wired to a Panel?
A hardwired motion detector will normally use a 4-wire connection with the panel. Two wires will transmit data, and the other two transmit power. Learn about motion sensors.
Added:

What Is a Dual Action Motion Sensor?
When a motion sensor uses both PIR and microwave technology, it is often referred to as "dual-action" or "dual-tech". Learn about dual action motion sensors and how they work.
