Sensors convert physical quantities such as infrared radiation or temperature into electrical signals for use in human presence detection, non-contact temperature measurement and security monitoring.
- Detection wavelength range and response speed must match the target use case (e.g. human-body IR vs. industrial temperature sensing)
- Sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio determine detection range and false-trigger rate
- Package form (integrated filter/optical window or not) affects integration effort and cost
- Operating temperature range must cover the actual deployment environment, especially outdoor/industrial settings
