Products in the optical motion sensor family use light (usually infrared) to detect object movement. Passive infrared types detect changes in the amount of infrared light falling on the sensor, such as caused by a warm body passing through their field of view, whereas area reflective types emit light and detect changes in the amount that is reflected by nearby objects. Products such as light curtains for machine safety which detect object presence rather motion are not included.
