The role of motion sensors in home security

The main purpose of motion detection is to sense an intruder and send an alert to your control panel, which alerts your monitoring center.

Sensors work when you're not home or when you tell the system you are not there. You can even program some security systems to record events via a security camera when there's motion.

​

Motion sensors stand guard, ready to react to various situations, such as movement in your living room, windows or doors opening or closing, or a window breaking.

Here are some common uses of motion sensors:

  • Alert you in the event that your teen breaks curfew
  • Trigger a doorbell when someone approaches the front door
  • Alert you when kids enter restricted areas in the home, like the basement, workout room, or medicine cabinet
  • Save energy by using motion sensor lighting in unoccupied spaces
  • Notify you if pets enter areas where they’re not supposed to be
