PIR Sensor

Overview​

The Nicera NP624M-F is a digital dual-element PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor with a built-in 14-bit ADC and 25-bit configuration registers, supporting both interrupt mode and serial output mode. With an ultra-low operating current (typically 3Β΅A) and RF interference resistance design, it is ideal for battery-powered IoT devices for human motion detection.

PIR-NP624M-F

1. Product Overview​

1.1 Key Features​

  • Digital dual-element PIR sensor: Built-in signal processing circuit with direct digital output
  • Ultra-low power: Typical operating current of only 3Β΅A, suitable for battery-powered applications
  • RF interference resistance: Excellent RF immunity design for complex electromagnetic environments
  • High-precision ADC: 14-bit analog-to-digital converter for accurate infrared signal capture
  • Flexible configuration: 25-bit configuration registers supporting interrupt mode and serial output mode
  • Compact package: 4-pin package with sensing element size of 2.3 Γ— 1mm

1.2 NE301 Application Scenarios​

In the NE301 sensor expansion board, the PIR sensor serves as an event trigger source for on-demand snapshot capture. When the PIR detects human motion, it sends an IO trigger signal to wake up the NE301 for snapshot capture, avoiding continuous recording of irrelevant footage and significantly saving storage, bandwidth, and battery power.

Application ScenarioDescription
Security MonitoringHuman motion triggers snapshot capture, retaining only event-related footage
Construction Site ProtectionDetects personnel activity in construction areas, triggering on-demand snapshots
Wildlife MonitoringPIR-triggered snapshots in battery-powered scenarios to conserve power
Intrusion AlertDetects intrusion behavior, triggers snapshot capture and reports via MQTT
