How do motion sensor lights work?

Motion sensor lights are becoming an increasingly popular security measure in both commercial business buildings and residential homes. Motion sensor lights work by detecting infrared heat waves that can be found on moving objects. To ensure that the sensors are not triggered by non-human objects, it is necessary to dial them to a specific sensitivity setting that usually falls between 8 to 12 micrometers. To ensure that sensing lights are installed and working properly, it is best to contact a licensed electrician.

WHERE TO INSTALL MOTION SENSING LIGHTS?

For residential homes it is important to install motion sensor lights in different areas around the outside of the home. These areas include the front and back yard. If you are going to install the motion lights in your front yard its best to install them in the entrance ways, stairs, and driveways. For installing motion sensors in your backyard, you should install them in patios, hot tubs, swimming pools and gates. The placement of motion sensing lights is based upon each individual home. A good rule of thumb is to cover the most common pathways to home entrances as well as dark and hazardous areas throughout the property. The same goes for commercial properties although these properties will likely require a larger scale of motion sensing lights due to their size and valuables on hand.

HOW TO INSTALL MOTION SENSING LIGHTS?
