Review on πŸ“‘ Ardest HC-SR501 Adjustable Infrared Motion Sensor for Arduino & Raspberry Pi Projects - 5 Pairs by Ardest by Michael Crossman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They work well and are well designed for the task, with easily accessible sensitivity controls and a reset timer on the side. A warning

After not being able to find a spy camera with a really working motion detector, I decided to build my own using these devices. They work well and are well rated for the task given their sensitivity and reset timer controls on the side and easy access. (at least with the parts I've had) that only about 45-55 degrees of arc will actually do anything, so careful adjustment is critical, but once the adjustment is complete the part works great.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
