1 Relay Jumper Allows you to set the relay to “Normally Open” (1&2)or
“Normally Closed” (2&4). In NC mode an interruption
in the connection to the sensor, e.g. when it is damaged,
will lead to an alarm. NC is the standard mode.

What is PIR?
PIR stands for Passive Infrared or Pyroelectric Infrared. PIR sensors can be dened
as detectors of warm-bodied targets in motion. A stationary target can not be de-
tected. To detect a moving target, the target must have a surface temperature that is
substantially dierent than the surrounding ambient temperature. Although the
usual targets of a PIR detector are warm-bodied (mammals, birds), the PIR sensor
will also detect a moving target that has a surface temperature that is signicantly
lower than the ambient temperature. As long as the target is large enough, and its
surface temperature is detectably dierent than the ambient (higher or lower) - and
the target is moving - it can be detected by a PIR sensor.
General Considerations
Main Features:
Temperatures can oen change dramatically in relatively short times. Large tem-
perature changes can render the PIR sensor either more, or less, sensitive. As am-
bient temperatures rise to near 37ºC, the dierence between the target and ambient
temperature decreases - and the sensitivity of the sensor declines. As temperatures
decrease the opposite is true and the sensor becomes more sensitive.
As target and ambient temperatures become equal, the PIR sensor may no longer be
able to detect a target. Large targets usually have enough variation in their surface
temperature to allow the sensor to detect them - even when the ambient tempera-
ture is the same as their average body temperature.
e IN-Motion PIR sensors compensate the PIR detector sensitivity according to
the ambient temperature. is allows you to utilize the full range of the sensors
capabilities - whenever and wherever they are needed!
• Internal logic control to avoid false alarms
• Auto temperature compensation
• Pulse count adjustment
• White light interference compensation
• RF interference comp. (20V/m-1GHz)
• Wide angle Fresnel lense
• Ceiling installation
• Alarm output N.C. / N.O.
e IN-Motion PIR Sensor is already connected to the power plug and the alarm
output cable. Simply connect the signal cable to your INSTAR cameras alarm input
connector. e image below shows the I/O bridge of IN-3005/3010 or 3011 - choose
the ports 3 & 4 for the sensor cable and replug the bridge into the cameras I/O
connector.
e alarm input of your camera might look dierent depending on your camera
model. Please refer to your user manual to identify the correct ports. You may
choose either polarity when connecting the cable - please refer to the next page for
information on how to adjust the cameras trigger level accordingly.
How to connect your IN-Motion Sensor to your camera ?
3 Basic Setup
l
Aer connecting the PIR sensor with your camera’s signal input, please open
the camera’s web userinterface. Go to the alarm settings and activate the ex-
ternal alarm input:
Depending on the polarity you choose for connecting the sensor’s signal cable
to the camera, you might receive a constant alarm trigger. Please adjust the
Alarm Trigger Level / Relay Position accordingly:
Triggering the PIR sensor (red alarm indicator should light up when triggered,
see page 3/ #7) should now trigger an alarm event inside of the camera. e
trigger event will be treated just like an internal motion detection event by the
camera. So all the settings in place for an alarm event (video recording, email
notication, p upload, etc) can be triggered by the PIR sensor from now on.
4 How does it work?
l
What do I need to consider before installing the sensor ?
e standard sensor coverage area is approximately conical in shape and is
broken up into zones by the Fresnel lense - see below for a top view of cover-
age area. e target to be detected must pass either into or out of one of these
zones in order to be detected. Small targets can sometimes move between
these zones and not be detected because they never pass into or out of a zone.
Sensor Coverage Area
Top View
Sensor Coverage Area
Side View
Targets moving directly toward or away from the sensor may sometimes es-
cape detection as PIR sensors tend to be less sensitive to this type of movement
- this is most likely to occur with small targets.
While not an absolute requirement, for the best results a target should move
across the coverage area. Note how the zones are spaced wider near the end of
the sensors range, and are shorter at the edges of the coverage area. At the far
end of the detection area the sensor is covering the largest number of square
feet. As you move closer to the sensor its coverage area decreases. A small tar-
get near the end of the sensors range crosses only a tiny percentage of the total
covered area and might escape detection. A small target close in to the sensor
crosses a greater percentage of the covered area and is much easier to detect. A
target’s size, distance from sensor, and surface temperature play an important
part in the sensors eective range.
e greatest drawback of the PIR sensor is that it will detect anything that is mov-
ing - air, shadows, grass, etc - and has a temperature diering from ambient. Many
schemes have been tried to minimize this problem, but in harsh outdoor settings,
some “falsing” is unavoidable. Below are some tips to help you minimize false
events.
Point the sensor away from the rising or setting sun. In general, North or South
works well, but your local site conditions could dictate otherwise.
Keep the sensor aimed at an area that will not have intense, direct sunlight warm-
ing all or part of the detection area. Shadows of trees or clouds moving across a
sun-warmed area can cause a momentary temperature drop which could cause
a false event to be recorded. Warmed air rising from the ground can cause prob-
lems too.
Wind can also cause movement of the object you have your sensor mounted to.
Make sure to secure your sensor to an object that will not sway in strong winds.
Any movement of the equipment may be interpreted as motion by the sensor.
Wind can cause false events. e moving air might be warmer or cooler than the
background. Place the sensor in an area sheltered from strong winds.
If the area is known to have many small birds / mammals, you will surely get
many empty pictures, as these active, fast animals will oen leave the frame be-
fore a picture can be taken (also see Pulse Count Compensation, next page).
Even in a shaded area, keep the sensor pointed away from dense shrubs or trees
that can retain the days warmth. A warm evergreen or other dense shrub will
hold the days heat. If the air temperature drops at night - and the still warm shrub
moves in the wind, this movement could be detected.
Tall, sun-warmed grasses or other vegetation blowing in a breeze can be detected.
Point the sensor away from dense, sun-warmed vegetation which can trap heat.
Do not place the sensor in a location where direct, bright sunlight will fall on
the sensor window.
How do I minimize false alerts?
e IN-Motion PIR controller supports a PCC (Pulse Count Compensation) Mode
- allowing you to determine how many detections (or ‘pulses’) must occur in a giv-
en time period before an event recorded. e illustration below shows a simplied
concept of the PIR’s detection area, and its detection zones. When a target passes
an edge (see vertical dotted lines) between “zones”,
an electrical signal - or ‘pulse’ - is generated by the
sensor. As the target moves across the detection area,
several pulses are generated, one each time the target
passes a zone’s edge. Since larger targets will generally
cause a greater number of pulses in a shorter period
of time, PCC modes can be used to help eliminate
small animals from being detected.
Sensor Detection Zones
Turn the detector counterclockwise and remove
the front cover. en simply use the two screws
and anchors included in the package to mount
the sensor parallel to your wall or ceiling. Close
the lid aerwards and you are good to go.
Aer turning on the power the sensor will start
a self-test that takes about 60s, indicated by the
red LED light. In normal operation the red in-
dicates a trigger event. Please refer to page No.
3 #2 on how to deactivate the alarm indicator.
Set the Pulse Compensation Jumper (see page 3, #5) to pin 1&2
to set the PCC to one pulse (highest sensitivity), to pin 2&3 to
set it to 2 pulses and remove the jumper completely to set the
PCC to ignore all events that don’t generate at least 3 pulses.
5 Installation
l
Direction of Travel
PCC modes can also help reduce “falsing” in noisy environments (lots of wind,
sun-warmed vegetation, etc), since most false events do not cause more than one or
two pulses over a period of several seconds. Use PCC modes with care, as an overly
aggressive setting could reduce capture rates of valid targets.
