Mozgásérzékelk, or motion detectors, are electronic devices designed to detect movement within a defined area. They are commonly used in security systems, home automation, and lighting control. The fundamental principle behind their operation is the detection of changes in the environment caused by motion.

Several technologies are employed in motion detectors. Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are the most prevalent. These devices detect infrared radiation, or body heat, emitted by living beings. When a person or animal moves, their heat signature changes position, triggering the sensor. Dual-technology detectors combine PIR with other sensing methods, such as microwave or ultrasonic, to reduce false alarms. Microwave detectors emit microwave signals and analyze changes in the reflected signals caused by movement. Ultrasonic detectors emit sound waves and monitor changes in the echo.

Motion detectors can be categorized by their coverage area and sensitivity. Wide-angle detectors are suitable for large rooms or open spaces, while narrow-beam detectors are designed for specific pathways or points of entry. Sensitivity adjustments allow users to fine-tune the detector's response to prevent it from being triggered by minor movements, such as pets or air currents.

Applications for motion detectors are diverse. In security, they alert homeowners or monitoring centers to potential intruders. In home automation, they can turn lights on or off automatically, activate ventilation systems, or trigger other smart home devices based on occupancy. Their widespread use is attributed to their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration into various systems.
