What is an HC-SR501 PIR sensor?

The HC-SR501 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor module that detects movement by sensing changes in infrared radiation from warm objects, such as humans and animals. It operates without emitting infrared signals and is commonly used in automatic lighting, security alarms, home automation and Arduino-based motion detection projects.

What is the detection range of the HC-SR501 PIR sensor?

The HC-SR501 PIR sensor has an adjustable detection range of approximately 3 to 7 metres (300–700 cm). Its sensitivity potentiometer allows you to adjust the detection distance according to your project requirements. Actual performance may vary depending on installation height, surrounding temperature and environmental conditions.

How does an HC-SR501 PIR motion sensor work?

The HC-SR501 detects changes in infrared radiation within its sensing area using an onboard pyroelectric sensor and Fresnel lens. When a warm body moves across its detection zones, the module generates a HIGH output signal. This signal can trigger connected devices such as lights, alarms or microcontrollers.

What is the difference between a PIR sensor and an IR sensor?

A PIR sensor detects changes in infrared radiation emitted by warm objects without transmitting any infrared signals. An active IR sensor emits infrared light and detects objects using the reflected signal. PIR sensors are commonly used for human motion detection, while active IR sensors are frequently used for obstacle detection and proximity sensing.

What is the HC-SR501 PIR sensor used for?

The HC-SR501 is commonly used in motion-activated lighting, security alarms, automatic doors, smart home automation and people detection systems. It can also be integrated with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP8266 projects to trigger actions whenever movement is detected within its sensing range.

How do you connect an HC-SR501 PIR sensor to an Arduino?

Connect the VCC pin to the Arduino 5V supply, GND to GND and OUT to a digital input pin, such as D2. Upload an Arduino sketch to read the digital output. The signal goes HIGH when motion is detected and returns LOW after the configured delay. Allow the sensor to stabilise after powering it on before testing.

How do you connect an HC-SR501 PIR sensor to an ESP8266?

Connect the sensor's VCC pin to a suitable 5V supply, GND to ESP8266 GND and OUT to an available GPIO pin. The HC-SR501 provides a 3.3V TTL output, suitable for ESP8266 GPIO inputs. Do not connect a 5V signal directly to an ESP8266 GPIO pin. Allow the sensor to stabilise before testing motion detection.

How do you adjust the sensitivity and delay of an HC-SR501?

The HC-SR501 has two onboard potentiometers for adjusting sensitivity and output delay. Turn the sensitivity potentiometer to increase or decrease the detection distance. Use the delay potentiometer to control how long the output remains HIGH after detecting movement. The delay is adjustable from approximately 3 seconds to 5 minutes.
