Motion detectors are a relatively new technology which can detect any moving object, particularly people, who pass in front of it. It is generally used in conjugation with other security systems such as surveillance cameras and alarms to alert the user of motion in an area. Motion detectors, also known as motion sensors, are generally used in security systems, automated lighting control, smart-home control and entertainment systems.

Honeywell 5800 wireless sensors are one of the best motion sensors available today. Their performance and high detection rates, coupled with the reputation of Honeywell in the electronics market make them a standard choice for homes and corporations alike.

Honeywell 5800 wireless sensors, as the name suggests, use wireless technology to communicate with other systems. A typical electronic motion sensor contains microwave, optical or acoustic sensors for detecting change in motion. Honeywell's sensors have a detection range of about 3 m.

Motion detectors have wide usage in domestic and commercial applications. One of the common uses of Honeywell 5800 wireless sensors is activation of automatic door openers in public buildings, and in detecting intruders when connected to a burglar alarm. They can also be set up to communicate with security cameras to record the area where the sensor was triggered.

The technology used in motion sensors to detect movement can be roughly classified into the following types:

A dirty, dusty sensor will not get you very good shots, you most likely get smudged shots and if you value photography, then you know this is not always a very good state of affairs. Fortunately, with the right sensor cleaning kit, it is very possible for you to keep the sensor clean and functional. One simple tip to avoid getting dirt on the sensor would be to hold the camera downwards when changing the lens so that the dust manages to fall out and not into your camera. You should also turn off the camera every time before you change the lenses because sensors which are electronically charged will attract dust.
