IR beam sensors are special instruments that are the best way to keep things safe. They see when something or someone passes through them with invisible infrared beams. If the beam is broken, the sensor transmits a signal to an alarm or to a control panel to tell us that something may be amiss.
The appearance of an IR beam sensor can vary but the concept is consistent among them. They include one part that emits the infrared beam and another part that receives it. But if someone comes through and breaks the beam, the sensor recognizes it and the alarm goes off. Here is how it knows if something moves in what it sees.
IR sensors in security systems are very advantageous. And the big benefit is being able to see motion without having to touch anything. That means they can be effective as outdoor or in-room workhorses.
The other great thing about IR beam sensors is that they are difficult to see. They are in infrared, which we cannot see, and thus they can be hidden. This makes it easier to keep tabs on things without tipping your own presence.
Meanwhile, setting up IR beam sensors is typically straightforward, but they must be oriented properly. The transmitter and receiver have to be aligned such that the beam can pass between them uninterrupted. You also want to make sure the space around the sensors is free of trash or any obstacles that may interfere with the beam.
Once they are in place, we need to monitor those sensors often to ensure that they are deployed effectively. That would be consistent with testing them to see if they still catch movement and giving them a periodic cleaning if they’ve become grimy enough to block the beam.
