Motion Detector
Safety has become an important concern for many people whether it’s at home or at work. Using devices that help ensure safety can give you peace of mind. A motion detector can do that. The two most common types of motion detector set off an alarm or turn on lights.
The lights in front of a store, or in someone’s backyard or even in a room can all be activated through the use of a motion detector. The lights permit you to see what is going on outside (or inside) without having to manually flick the light switch each time you hear something. It will also pick up things that you don’t notice. It’s very handy to have a light come on automatically when you walk into your living room with an armload of movies! But motion-activated lights can also be very annoying if they are outside. Depending on how sensitive the motion detector is, you could have a light flashing on every time a bat flies by, or a cyclist passes in the street!
We also use the device in many alarm systems. If a burglar manages to get into a building, the motion detector activates the alarm and the thief is either caught or scared away. Usually mounted in a corner for maximum coverage, it can be a great money saver. Once again, if the motion detector is too sensitive, you will have the alarm going off when a mouse runs across the floor.
The level of sensitivity can obviously be a concern so it’s a good idea to invest in a motion detector that allows you to adjust the sensitivity level. This is important to consider. If a thief moves slowly, he won’t set off an alarm that is only set to catch big motion, and you could end up losing an enormous amount of personal property not to mention your sense of safety.
Consider other convenient uses for this handy device. Those who are wheelchair bound could have a motion detector connected to automatic doors that would open when they approach (how very Star Trek). This could be a wonderful improvement in the ease of moving around the house without sacrificing too much privacy, since doors don’t need to be removed.
Another common but little noticed use for these handy gadgets is seen on such rides as roller coasters and water drop rides in theme parks. A motion detector sets off a camera that snaps a memorable photo just as you start screaming. And once you have survived the fall, the photos are all there for you to purchase, yet another great use for motion detectors.
