Main characteristics
Visual sensor
Easily detects movement in the daytime or when it is bright.
RMovement may be incorrectly detected when the moving object and the background have a similar color.
RMovement may be incorrectly detected when there are sudden changes to the overall brightness levels such as when external lights are used.
Infrared sensor
Easily detects when there is a big difference between the temperatures of objects and the surrounding environment, such as in winter or late at night.
RThe sensor cannot easily detect when there is no difference between the temperatures of objects and the surrounding environment, such as in summer or during the daytime.
RIf the camera is mounted facing a road, the sensor may detect incorrectly due to interference caused by the heat from passing cars.
