A new motion sensor incorporates micromachined thermal transistors to facilitate human presence and motion detection in security systems, home automation equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

Motion detection is the magic ingredient in the current wave of do-it-yourself home security cameras. Thanks to built-in sensors that vigilantly monitor their field of view for movement, you can go ...

There’s no shortage of ESP32 development boards out there, with many of them offering some “killer app” feature which may or may not align with whatever it is you’re trying to do. But if you’ve got a ...

The FP1E’s millimeter wave technology provides for a much more nuanced look at whether a room is occupied or not, but you’ll need one of Aqara’s Zigbee or Matter smart home hubs to use it. Whatever ...

Learn how to repurpose your spare ESP32 boards into cost-effective presence detection sensors using the Tommy Sense ...

Window alarm sensors are an essential part of home security systems, alerting you to unauthorized entries by monitoring window openings, glass breaks and motion. Each window alarm sensor type serves a ...

Researchers will report a new laser-based sensor that effectively detects buried objects even while the detector is in motion. This new device offers a significant improvement over existing ...

The new smart sensor uses embedded information to detect motion in a single video frame. A new bio-inspired sensor can recognise moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict ...
