Abstract

Current occupancy detection solutions tend to employ complex systems such as mmWave radar to detect stationary objects. Passive Infrared (PIR) technology, while simpler, can reliably detect motion but struggles detecting stationary objects. This application note explores using a mirror to simulate motion to create a PIR-based system capable of occupancy detection.
