Motion detectors play an important role in many home and business security systems and home and business automation systems.  For most businesses and homeowners, motion sensing outdoor lighting is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of motion detectors, but in addition to security motion detectors have many more applications including energy savings, home automation, and remote monitoring.

Outdoor motion activated lighting detects motion outside of your home or business and illuminates the area, increasing personal safety as family members and employees enter or leave the premises.  The illumination also discourages would be intruders.  In addition, the lighting is programmed to turn off automatically after a set period of time, saving energy costs.

Outdoor motion sensors can be used in additional security applications such as monitoring driveways and entryways or other areas around your home or commercial facility and sending an alert when vehicles or visitors are arriving at your home or business or entering one of these areas.

Indoors, motions detectors can be integrated with your security system to sound the alarm when unwanted intruders are detected inside your home or business.  In addition, motion detectors are used as occupancy sensors to automatically activate and extinguish lights or other appliances.  They save energy by automatically ensuring that the lights or appliances are only turned on when needed.

Motion detectors can also integrated with remote monitoring systems to help monitor elderly family members, babies, or to keep an eye on your home or office while you are away.  Talk to an experienced security and automation company about how motion detectors can help meet your needs.
