Indoor Motion Detectors and Sensor Switches (PIR)
Smart indoor lighting means light only when and where it is needed. Indoor motion sensors (PIR or infrared) are indispensable in corridors, stairwells, toilets, and warehouses. When buying cheap sensors, you often encounter "blind spots" or false alarms from drafts. In addition, cheap relays regularly melt when more powerful LED lamps are connected. VIDEX indoor sensors use high-precision infrared lenses and durable contacts for long-lasting work.
Advantages of VIDEX indoor sensors in your home:
- Invisible design: We offer ceiling-recessed (Flush mount) sensors that look like elegant mini-spotlights and do not ruin your interior with large plastic boxes on the wall.
- Extreme precision: Three regulators (Sensitivity, Time, and Light) allow you to set the sensor so that it turns on only in the presence of a human and only when it has become dark enough in the room.
- Energy (TCO) saving: You and your children will never again have to remember to turn off the light in the toilet or the long hallway. The sensor will pay for itself through the electricity bill in the first year alone.
In conclusion, a reliable PIR sensor is the cheapest way to start building your Smart Home. Forget about switches and enjoy automated comfort - order your sensor at open tools!
Q: In which indoor areas are PIR motion sensors technically more suitable than microwave models?
Q: How are integrated (recessed) PIR sensors installed in modular or drywall ceilings?
Q: What time-delay duration is technologically optimal for office corridors and sanitary facilities?
Q: How do VIDEX indoor sensors ensure lightning speed and protect the relay mechanism?
Q: What is the significance of the IP20 protection class when choosing an indoor sensor?
A: Passive infrared (PIR) sensors do not react through walls or doors, making them a justified choice for isolated rooms such as toilets or office cabins. This strictly prevents false alarms when people move through corridors behind closed doors.
Q: How are integrated (recessed) PIR sensors installed in modular or drywall ceilings?
A: These sensors utilize spring clips, allowing the lens to be built into the ceiling plane exactly like standard GU10 spotlights. The massive switching block is hidden above the drywall, ensuring clean interior architecture and a symmetrical 360-degree detection cone.
Q: What time-delay duration is technologically optimal for office corridors and sanitary facilities?
A: In transit zones, the recommended time is from 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning off the light immediately after leaving the room. In enclosed spaces with low motion intensity, the timer should be set to 5 to 10 minutes to prevent sudden light deactivation during room usage.
Q: How do VIDEX indoor sensors ensure lightning speed and protect the relay mechanism?
A: The integrated electromagnetic micro-relays in units react in less than 0.1 seconds from the moment infrared photons are registered. This rapid switching guarantees that a person does not have to step into the dark, while simultaneously dampening loud clicks in quiet office spaces.
Q: What is the significance of the IP20 protection class when choosing an indoor sensor?
A: The IP20 standard physically certifies that the sensor housing protects against the ingress of solid particles (over 12.5 mm), but it possesses absolutely no waterproofing. These models must only be operated in dry rooms with normal ambient humidity, excluding installation above shower cabins.
