Save money on outdoor security lighting while at the same time, protecting your property (and your own personal safety) with floodlights that are activated when motion is detected by a sensor. Floodlights that are illuminated from dusk to dawn are high-energy consumers and can easily be replaced by automating the activating process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion-activated outdoor lighting has a shock value to would-be intruders. Suspecting that your home is shrouded in darkness making it an easy target for burglary, would-be intruders are shocked when they are suddenly flooded with light. It\u2019s just common sense to expect them to move on to a less protected target.<\/p>\n\n\n

Enhancing Safety and Security<\/h2>\n\n\n

In addition to protecting your property from criminals, motion-activated lighting can provide an element of safety for you when you are returning home after dark or if you venture outside to investigate a strange noise. Strategically placed, motion-activated floodlights can illuminate the driveway, entryways, and other walkways around your home. Some insurance companies will even offer premium incentives for homeowners with this type of security lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n

Understanding Motion Sensors<\/h2>\n\n

Basic Mechanics of Motion Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n

The basic mechanics of the motion detection sensor are fairly simple. The active sensor works by pulsing a stream of energy such as microwaves or sound that is sensitive to changes in the environment. Most lighting systems are of the passive variety designed to detect infrared energy. These passive systems, known as passive infrared detectors, can be calibrated to detect a person by picking up on the infrared energy they emit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion sensor is sensitive to both motion and the amount of infrared energy that it is sensing. The electronics are designed to find a relatively rapid change in the amount of infrared energy it is sensing. This is why these sensing devices are triggered by a person or animal moving and not the slow gradual change that occurs in the nighttime environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Types of Motion Sensors<\/h3>\n\n

Indoor Use: Occupant Sensors<\/h4>\n\n\n

Motion sensors are also used indoors and are generally called occupant sensors. A special feature of many occupant sensors is that they detect not only the presence of a person in a particular area but also detect the absence of a person as well. The way they work is fairly simple and straightforward. The motion detector itself is designed to sense both the presence and the absence of a person, send the appropriate message or signal to what is called the control unit which then processes the information and sends a signal to a controllable switch which then either opens or closes a relay which either turns lights on or turns them off.<\/p>\n
