In this post we diagnose a PIR activated message player circuit, which was sent by Mr. Norman Kelley one of the dedicated followers of this blog for improvements. I have explained more about the design through the following discussions. Triggering Message Playback with a PIR Input I have been working on a project for about […]

PIR Burglar Alarm Circuit
The PIR burglar alarm explained here will detect a human intruder within the stipulated range and sound an alarm. Thus, the system could be effectively use for detecting trespassing, theft, intrusion, burglars, or any form of unlawful entry inside a restricted area or zone. Basic Principle The operating principle of the proposed burglar alarm circuit […]
PIR Controlled Solar Garden Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic PIR controlled solar garden light circuit which will switch ON the LEDs only under two conditions: when it is completely dark and when a human being is detected in the vicinity. The above feature of the circuit ensures that the LEDs are turned ON only when […]
5 Simple Motion Detector Circuits using PIR
A PIR motion sensor alarm is a device which detects the infrared radiation from a moving human body and triggers an an audible alarm. In this post I have explained 5 simple motion detector circuits using op amp and transistor. We also discuss the pinout details of the standard passive infrared (PIR) sensor RE200B. We […]
Detecting Static Human with PIR
In this post I have explained a method which can be probably used for enhancing a passive infrared sensor ability to detect even a static or stationery human presence. This feature is normally not possible with the conventional PIR sensors. How PIR Detect Human Presence I have already discussed many PIR based motion detector applications […]
