Overview
PIR or dual-technology motion detector — wired or wireless commercial/residential motion sensor for protected areas.
On Interlogix systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
