Wide Angle PIR Sensor

The Wide Angle PIR Sensor features a larger detection angle of 180˚.

• 180˚ detection angle for widespread motion detection
• Typically detects people up to 30 ft away
• User-selectable ""night-time mode"" for detecting motion in decreased lighting conditions
• Adjustable sensitivity to tune for different operating conditions
• 4-pin SIP package perfect for breadboard-friendly projects
• Small size and mounting holes for easy concealment

The Wide Angle PIR Sensor is a pyroelectric device, and it detects motion by sensing changes in the infrared levels emitted by surrounding objects. When motion is detected, the Wide Angle PIR Sensor outputs a high signal on its output pin. This makes it ideal in applications where users need to track movements across a large, open area.
