Reliable component
Bought five for a security system prototype. All arrived working and consistent with each other.

Good sensitivity
Caught motion well in my hallway. Had to tweak the delay time but otherwise solid performance for the price.

Great for learning
Used this for my final year project. Documentation online is plentiful which helped me troubleshoot quickly.

Value for money
Cheap and effective. Just ensure you supply enough voltage or it might not trigger consistently.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
Works exactly as described. Easy to calibrate sensitivity with the potentiometers. Used it for an automatic light project.
Q: Can I use this directly with a 5V Arduino?
A: Yes, the module operates between 4.5V and 20V, so 5V is perfect for Arduino boards.
Q: Can I adjust the detection range?
A: Yes, there is a potentiometer on the board to adjust sensitivity and detection distance.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?
A: The module itself is not weatherproof. You should house it in a waterproof enclosure for outdoor applications.
Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes, the 3.3V output usually works directly with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins without extra level shifting.
Q: What is the output logic level?
A: The output is 3.3V TTL, which is compatible with most microcontrollers and logic systems.
