Abstract
Sensing systems and methods for sensing a stationary individual. A sensing system may use a first sensor to determine whether a detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence within a space. When the detected thermal signature is not associated with a human presence, the sensing system may repeat the determining whether a detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence. When the detected thermal signature is associated with a human presence, the sensing system may determine whether motion has been detected using a second sensor. In some cases, the first sensor may be a thermal sensor that can detect a human whether the moving or not, and the second sensor may be a motion sensor that only detects motion.
