PIR Sensor Small

### PIR Sensor (Small) Overview

1. **Functionality**: Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor designed to detect motion by measuring changes in infrared radiation levels emitted by objects in its field of view.

2. **Specifications**:

– **Size**: Compact form factor, making it easy to integrate into various small-scale projects.

– **Detection Range**: Typically has a range of 5 to 10 meters, depending on the model and environment.

– **Operating Voltage**: Commonly operates at 3.3V to 5V, suitable for most microcontroller platforms.

3. **Design**: Often includes a Fresnel lens to focus infrared radiation onto the sensor element, enhancing its detection capabilities.

### Typical Uses:

– **Security Systems**: Triggers alarms or notifications when motion is detected, used in home and commercial security systems.

– **Lighting Control**: Automates lighting in rooms or outdoor areas, turning lights on or off based on motion detection.

– **Energy Management**: Integrates into smart home systems to manage energy consumption by controlling appliances and devices based on occupancy.
