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 ...

STMicroelectronics is launching a human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home-automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The ...

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 ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

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, ...

Meross has announced the launch of its new 3-in-1 smart sensor, the MS605. It uses triple detection technology, combining radar, infrared and light sensing, to reduce false alerts and deliver more ...

The Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) sensors market is experiencing significant growth and is projected to reach USD 7.07 billion by 2034, expanding from USD 3.15 billion in 2025. This growth corresponds to a ...
