Detection Ranges – PIR Detection Zones

This picture shows Bolymedia’s 5 types of detection ranges at various detection angles. This camera has a super long detection range with a 60 degree FOV angle. The PIR detection angle (α) is smaller than the field of view (FOV) angle (β). The advantage of this design is to reduce empty picture rate and capture most, if not all, motions. This camera has a new, patented design of the PIR. The new patented PIR’s detection range can reach to 100ft (in good environments). The previous picture shows the compared detection zone between normal PIR and the new patented PIR.
