Review on HiLetgo 3pcs AM312 Mini Pyroelectric PIR Human Sensor Module Infrared IR Sensor Body Manual Motion Infrared IR Detector by Tres Carmon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well in the HF range. Inexpensive. Large supply voltage range.

According to a renowned YOUTUBER and Arduino S/W & H/W engineer, he believes that RF radiation from a nearby device can cause IR devices to become unstable. I tried a lot, but only AM312 worked stably. It's inexpensive and runs on both 3.3V and 5V. It's also small. The only complaint I have is that the 3.3V sensitivity can only detect motion 3-4 feet away. I think for further distance measurements one should consider a higher (5V etc.) supply voltage or a larger lens window.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
