Wide Angle PIR Motion Sensor
The Wide Angle PIR Sensor features a larger detection angle of 180˚. This makes it ideal in
applications where users need to track movements across a large, open area. 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.
