How Does a Motion Detector Work?

First developed for World War II, motion detectors have come a long way from the radar that pilots used way back then.
As radar technology continues to advance, it offers an increasingly broad range of capabilities, making it a viable alternative to traditional passive infrared (PIR) sensors. With radar’s enhanced ...
