Description
Infrared (IR) beams are invisible to the naked eye and are used to detect anything that crosses a threshold. It works by emitting an IR beam of light to a receiver, where detection occurs when an object blocks the beam. The IR beam is invisible to the naked eye because the human visible spectrum consists of wavelengths ranging from approximately 400nm to 700nm and IR beams have wavelengths outside of this range that are typically around 900nm.
IR beams have a higher reliability of detection than other means of of motion detection, such as PIR and Microwave, but at the expense of a very narrow FOVField Of View: it only covers the line of sight of the beam, whereas PIR and Microwave cover a much broader region. However, a single IR beam has the weakness of leaves, birds, or insects getting in the path of the beam. These kind of false-alarms can be mitigated by including additional IR beams that all have to be triggered together for detection. Also, ambient IR background radiation from sunlight or artificial heat sources can interfere with the receiver unless filtered, shielded, or pulsating the beam at a specific frequency to differentiate the signal from the background radiation.
