electronic device which senses motion in a protected zone. "Verified" means that the unit incorporates two (2) different technologies to accomplish this. The PIR portion of the unit senses a specific heat change within the ambient temperature of the room. ... The microwave or ultrasonic portion of the unit (2nd technology) senses movement by transmitting a frequency into the room and measuring the return bounce of the signal. If it is not the same on its return then an alarm signal is generated. 1, record 1, English, - verified%20passive%20infrared%20motion%20detector

Dispositif électronique qui détecte le mouvement dans une zone protégée. L'expression "à contrôle intégré" signifie que le dispositif utilise deux technologies pour effectuer cette tâche. [La partie utilisant des rayons infrarouges] peut déceler un changement déterminé de température dans une pièce (...) La partie du dispositif utilisant des micro-ondes ou ondes ultrasoniques (deuxième technologie) détecte le mouvement en émettant une fréquence dans la pièce et en mesurant l'onde de retour du signal. Si l'onde de retour varie, un signal d'alarme est déclenché. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20de%20mouvement%20%C3%A0%20rayons%20infrarouges%20%C3%A0%20contr%C3%B4le%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9
