Audio frequency

An audio frequency (abbreviation: AF) or audible frequency is characterized as a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human.

Black-body radiation

Black-body radiation is the thermal electromagnetic radiation within or surrounding a body in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment, or emitted by a black body (an opaque and non-reflective body).

Closed-circuit television

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.

Continuous wave

A continuous wave or continuous waveform (CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequency, almost always a sine wave, that for mathematical analysis is considered to be of infinite duration.

Digital camera

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory.

Doppler effect

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

Doppler radar

A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance.

Electric eye

An electric eye is a photodetector used for detecting obstruction of a light beam.

Heat detector

A heat detector is a fire alarm device designed to respond when the convected thermal energy of a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element.

Heterodyne

Heterodyning is a signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor-engineer Reginald Fessenden that creates new frequencies by combining or mixing two frequencies.

Infrared

Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light.

Lighting control system

A lighting control system is an intelligent network based lighting control solution that incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices.

Microwave

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one meter to one millimeter; with frequencies between and.

Motion capture

Motion capture (Mo-cap for short) is the process of recording the movement of objects or people.

New!!: Motion detector and Motion capture · See more »

Motion controller

A motion controller is a type of game controller that uses accelerometers or other sensors to track motion and provide input.

New!!: Motion detector and Motion controller · See more »

Occupancy sensor

An occupancy sensor is an indoor motion detecting devices used to detect the presence of a person to automatically control lights or temperature or ventilation systems.

Passive infrared sensor

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.

Pickup (music technology)

A pickup is a transducer that captures or senses mechanical vibrations produced by musical instruments, particularly stringed instruments such as the electric guitar, and converts these to an electrical signal that is amplified using an instrument amplifier to produce musical sounds through a loudspeaker in a speaker enclosure.

Proximity sensor

A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

Radar

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects.

Radar gun

A radar speed gun (also radar gun and speed gun) is a device used to measure the speed of moving objects.

Remote camera

A remote camera is a camera placed by a photographer in areas where the photographer generally cannot be at the camera to snap the shutter.

Security alarm

A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion – unauthorized entry – into a building or other area.

Smart lighting

Smart lighting is a lighting technology designed for energy efficiency.

Smoke detector

A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.

Software

Computer software, or simply software, is a generic term that refers to a collection of data or computer instructions that tell the computer how to work, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built, that actually performs the work.

Ultrasonic transducer

Ultrasonic transducers or ultrasonic sensors are a type of acoustic sensor divided into three broad categories: transmitters, receivers and transceivers.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing.
