infrared sensors
Thermal radiation readers
Infrared sensors are devices that detect infrared radiation—the heat energy emitted by objects.
They're used in motion detectors, night-vision equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and remote controls.
Security systems use passive infrared sensors to detect body heat from intruders.
