Q

How do passive sensors work?

A

Passive sensors detect energy emitted by the object of interest or detect a target-caused changed in a natural field of energy. Both types use a receiver to collect energy emissions. May include those that detect vibration, heat, sound, or capacitance.

Q

How do active sensors work?

A

Active sensors transmit energy and detect changes (caused by presence or motion) in the received energy. Typically contain both a transmitter and a receiver. Types include microwave, infrared, and other RF devices.

Q

To work well, these sensors require a clear line of sight in the detection space between both the transmitter and receiver and to use such sensors where the terrain is not flat requires extensive site preparation.

Examples of interior sensor application?

A

23
Q

4 basic types of detection for interior motion detection

A

Trap detection-narrow or wide detection for high traffic areas or expected travel paths of an intruder to get from Point A to Point B.
Spot detection-detection on a particular object or high value area.
Channel detection-narrow detection in an area where an intruder is expected to cross.
Volumetric detection-wide or broad detection in a defined area.

24
Q

Interior application group most commonly include vibration & electromechanical technologies. Vibration sensors are passive line sensors that can be visible or covert (examples include glassbreaks). EM sensors are passive, visible line sensors (includes simple switches or door/window contacts).

A

Boundary Penetration Sensors
