• Ultrasonic - Ultrasonic detector can be active (or) passive. Passive ones detect certain sounds. Active ones generate ultrasonic wave (sound wave) pulses and then determine the reflection of these waves off a moving object.
• Microwave - These detectors generate microwave pulses and then calculate their reflection off of objects, in order to know whether objects are moving or not..
