5 PIR Detection Zone
This camera has a new design of PIR and the new PIR is
patented. The new patented PIR’s detection range can
reach to 85ft in good environments. Following picture
shows the compared detection zone between normal PIR
and the new patented PIR.
The PIR detection angle (α) is just smaller than the field of
view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of this design is to
reduce empty picture rate and capture most, if not all,
motions.
