Review on DIYmall Pack of 10 HC-SR501 PIR Infrared IR Sensor Body Motion Modules - Arduino Raspberry Pi Compatible by Ryan Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfectly. My batch had jumper pins

Motion sensors work as expected, I have used similar ones before. . When there is light, no movement is triggered. If there is no light, motion will be triggered. The included delay time potentiometer is 105 (1MΩ), so it can be adjusted from 0.5s to 200s. Though it doesn't seem as fickle as it should be. It is very difficult to narrow down the setting from 1 to 200 seconds. I had pin jumpers, not the solder jumpers listed in the description. However, this doesn't seem to affect the device. It worked as a permanent trigger regardless of the jumper position. I deduct a star for that. Consumes 130uA at 5V supply voltage, so a decent 3.3V LDO voltage regulator is used.

Pros
  • What you will get: 10PCS HC-SR501 Infrared PIR Sensor
Cons
  • Newer model could be selected
