Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

As the U.S. Army produces third-generation forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors, officials are exploring emerging capabilities that might be integrated into fourth-generation systems. FLIR ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

The LS SWIR SDK is STRATIO's newest all-in-one Infrared-AI™ device, combining Ge-based SWIR sensing with built-in analysis ...

We all know that feeling: you've turned the lights off and are almost asleep when you hear that infamous buzz. A mosquito is hunting in your bedroom. The dance commences. You could turn on the lights, ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

Thermal infrared (IR) energy is emitted from all things that have a temperature greater than absolute zero. Human eyes, primarily sensitive to shorter wavelength visible light, are unable to detect or ...

The Xiaomi Human Body Sensor has been announced in China via a crowdfunding campaign. The new Xiaomi Human Body Sensor is the latest gadget to be integrated into the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem. The ...
