Active motion sensors send out a signal.
They emit light (for example, a laser), and then if something blocks that light the sensor is triggered. Passive motion sensors pick up infrared signals put off by body heat. If the sensor notices an infrared energy, the motion detector is triggered and an alarm may sound.Oct 25, 2018
