Risco DigiSense Dual Tech Digital PIR Detector

Modern intrusion detection requires sophisticated sensors that distinguish between genuine security threats and environmental conditions that trigger false alarms. The Risco DigiSense Dual Tech Digital PIR Detector combines passive infrared sensing with microwave radar technology, creating a dual-verification system that dramatically reduces false alarm rates while maintaining exceptional sensitivity to human intrusion.

Dual Technology Detection Principles and Performance

Passive Infrared (PIR) Detection Technology

The Risco DigiSense Dual Tech Digital PIR Detector employs advanced pyroelectric sensors that detect infrared radiation changes caused by human body heat moving through the protected area. Digital signal processing algorithms analyze heat patterns to distinguish between human movement and other heat sources like pets, air currents, or environmental changes.

Microwave Radar Detection System

• Doppler shift analysis: Detects motion through radio wave reflection changes
• Penetration capability: Senses movement through thin materials and barriers
• Speed discrimination: Distinguishes between different movement patterns
• Range adjustment: Configurable sensitivity for various room sizes and applications

Digital Signal Processing Integration

Advanced microprocessors analyze signals from both detection technologies simultaneously, requiring confirmation from both sensors before triggering an alarm condition. This dual-confirmation approach virtually eliminates false alarms caused by single-technology triggers.

False Alarm Prevention and Environmental Immunity

Pet Immunity Features

The Risco DigiSense Dual Tech Digital PIR Detector incorporates sophisticated algorithms that recognize typical pet movement patterns and body heat signatures. These features allow pets up to specified weight limits to move freely through protected areas without triggering false alarms.

Environmental Disturbance Rejection

Temperature fluctuations, air conditioning effects, and lighting changes that commonly cause single-technology detectors to false alarm are effectively filtered out through intelligent signal processing and dual-technology verification.

Electromagnetic Interference Protection

Built-in shielding and filtering protect against radio frequency interference from wireless devices, fluorescent lighting, and electronic equipment that could affect detector performance in modern electronic environments.
