In Homes, Burglars See Windows of Opportunity

(NewsUSA) - Most people believe that their homes are secure, but the statistics suggest that many homes are not. In 2008, over 2 million homes were burglarized, resulting in nearly $4.6 billion in total losses. The average burglary victim lost about $2,097 in property.

Burglars, for the most part, like easy targets. The good news? Criminals do not want to be seen, so a well-lit home and yard could deter would-be burglars. Motion detector lights illuminate yards and driveways without wasting energy, because they don't turn on until they sense movement.

Precision Plus Doppler Radar, by Cooper Lighting, combines the range and accuracy of Doppler Radar with Passive Infrared technology (PIR), plus a built-in processor for one of the most advanced motion sensor lighting systems available. Precision Plus Doppler Radar protects your home with improved reliability, more dependable area coverage and stable performance.

PIR technology detects heat from moving objects and also side-to-side movement. Doppler radar technology reacts to actual motion -- not heat changes. Plus, it detects movement toward and away from the home -- straight-on coverage. Precision Plus Doppler Radar combines traditional PIR with the advantages of Doppler Radar to produce an outdoor security lighting system with more coverage and fewer false triggers.

For the past two decades, motion sensor lighting has relied on PIR, which detects heat from moving objects, such as people, animals, and cars. Unfortunately, these sensors can be triggered by changes in the wind and temperature, as well as stray objects like branches or leaves. A well-bundled burglar, for example, approaching a traditional motion sensor or product might not be detected on a cold night.

Precision Plus Doppler Radar revolutionizes the traditional PIR system using highly sensitive Doppler microwave technology. First, the system transmits microwave signals into the coverage area. Once a person enters the area and interrupts the signal, a return signal reaches the micro-chip processor which interprets the interruption as motion and activates the lamps.
