Motion Sensor

As-Salaam-Alaikum, Welcome to my blogger "World of Knowledge".Here we discuss the topic Motion Sensors.



Points to be discuss in this Article are given below :

  • Motion Sensor
  • Technological Concept 
  • Advantage & Disadvantage

Motion Sensor:

motion sensor (or motion detector) is the linchpin of your security system, because it's the main device that detects when someone is in your home when they shouldn't be. A motion sensor uses one or multiple technologies to detect movement in an area
  • Motion sensors improved in World War II.
  • First use of motion sensor in the 1940s was by Samuel Bagno.
  • Used to determine location of a person within a room.
  • And then used to calculate the movement of the stars.
  • The first use in World War II with mine.
  • Mines placed below the ground would explode when it sense movement on the surface.
  • In modern technology it is used in Radar to track enemy.
  • Helps in air traffic control to avoid airplane accident.
Technological Concepts:
  • Waves are sent out through the detector
  • These waves are used to detect movement
  • Once the waves hit an object, they are bounced back to the detector.
  • The waves bounced back are taken in and encoded
  • The encoded information is then transmitted to the decoder.
  • The information is then decoded.
  • Decoded information is used to activate device.

Advantage of motion sensor:
  • Help to secure houses which detect any motion around the house.
  • Motion sensors can help to increase energy savings such as by turning lights off in unoccupied rooms.

Disadvantage of motion sensor:
  • Has made military more dangerous weapons.
  • Used in mine explosive and rockets launcher
