TriggerScout PIR

The Triggerscout PIR is a compact passive infrared sensor (PIR) device that can be used in many photographic or video projects. It is designed to easily capture images by detecting moving body heat, subsequently triggering the camera or video device.

A wide variety of cameras and video cameras are supported, including digital and film based. The Triggerscout PIR can be connected directly to the camera’s remote trigger socket or connected to the Triggersmart Mk1 control unit, offering the ability to tune the sensitivity of the sensors, delaying the trigger of the capture device.

The PIR sensitivity range is up to 20 metres dependent on ambient temperature conditions. State of the art technology enables the system to operate reliably under most conditions without false triggering.

The cone sensitivity can be as little as 6°. When a warm moving body (typically wildlife) moves into the zone of detection, the PIR will activate and trigger either the camera or TriggerSmart.
