The 3.3v "trigger" pin (the "OUT") even had enough juice to directly power a red LED (tho a little dimmer than normal). Very wide sensitivity pattern. Tho description says "< 100 degrees" I thought it was greater than 120. At default sensitivity it would trigger easily from 8-10' away. I never adjusted it as that was the perfect distance for my needs. Holding it with the sensor "dome" facing down and the adjusting (orange) "screws" facing you, the left one is the sensitivity, the right is the duration that the OUT pin will stay "on" (i.e. hold at 3.3v). Minimum seems to be around 4 seconds. Review: Better than a pre-built motion sensor switch - I first bought a pre-built 'smart' light switch with a motion sensor that was WAY too sensitive and couldn't be adjusted. I decided to go the DIY route and bought these. I connected one to a NodeMCU, which I set up with Home Assistant using MQTT (along with a simple 'smart' switch sans motion sensor). It's awesome, gives me so much more control and cheaper. I do get some false-positives, but not nearly as much as with the pre-built unit. I suspect it's due to being in the garage and the sensor picking up sunlight/shadows coming in through cracks in the garage door. Overall, very happy with the purchase. ## Features - Using Potentiometer 105, output timing is from 0.5S to 200S - Widely used in:Security Products,human body sensors toys,human body sensor lighting industrial automation and control, etc - NOTE: On this retrigger jumper is a solder jumper, and you need solder it by yourself - Pls note that there is no IR emitter in this module, the principle of PIR sensor is to detect the infrared radiation emitted by the human body, it only have a IR sensor (cell) - Package Included: 5 X HC-SR501 PIR Infared Sensor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B012ZZ4LPM | | Antenna Location | Security Products | | Battery Description | Battery not included | | Best Sellers Rank | #42,437 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #157 in Motion Detectors (Electronics) | | Brand | DIYmall | | Color | HC-SR501 | | Compatible Devices | Incandescent Lamp | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 543 Reviews | | Item Weight | 1.58 Ounces | | Manufacturer | DIYmall | | Maximum Range | 15 Feet | | Mfr Part Number | FZ0057- | | Model Number | 4331029690 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 717520589952 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DIYmall - **Color:** HC-SR501 - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Item Weight:** 1.58 Ounces - **Maximum Range:** 15 Feet ## Images ![5 Pack HC-SR501 Pir Motion IR Sensor Body Module Infrared for Arduino - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515XvPTaTSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the sensitivity adjustable?** A: Yes there are two pots on the board you can use to adjust. Check the web for how to do it. **Q: Can i hook this directly to the item i want to switch? it’s dc current.** A: WRCoyle is pretty much wrong on their answer. I'm assuming you want to turn electricity on to another device with this? The answer to that is no. This provides a logic output that is high when it is triggered and low when on standby. The BISS0001 chip on this has the output pin rated for 10mA and it goes straight to the out pin on the board, no transistor used to handle more power. It can run a regular LED using a resistor to limit the LED to 10mA or less. Beyond that, you will need a transistor or solid state relay or some other setup to handle any amount of current. **Q: How would you describe the range and sensitivity of these? I need to detect when motion stops in a 12x14 room of people.** A: It will sense any movement (heating moving paper) in a room of that size **Q: Could this be used to replace a faulty IR sensor on animated halloween props?** A: The pir sensor should work but the output is simply a logic level output. It will not provide much current. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't beat these for the price. *by R***B on November 2, 2017* Hooked the VCC and ground to a 12v A/C adapter and it worked perfect.

Overall, very happy with the purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall good motion sensor; very ambient light/movement direction sensitive *by M***G on March 16, 2025* Bought these for Halloween decoration triggering. They work well, but the overall design has it's limitations (doesn't matter what MFG). Super sensitive to ambient light, so works well in a darker/indirect light situation. Also only really sensitive in 1 plane/movement direction. So you may have to rotate it 90* as it's not a cone of sensitivity, more like a long oval in one plane. ## Frequently Bought Together - DIYmall 5 Pack HC-SR501 Pir Motion IR Sensor Body Module Infrared for Arduino - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects - Arduino Uno REV3 [A000066] – ATmega328P Microcontroller, 16MHz, 14 Digital I/O Pins, 6 Analog Inputs, 32KB Flash, USB Connectivity, Compatible with Arduino IDE for DIY Projects and Prototyping --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/19860536-5-pack-hc-sr501-pir-motion-ir-sensor-body-module](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/19860536-5-pack-hc-sr501-pir-motion-ir-sensor-body-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
