Abstract
A method including providing a sensor device including one or several sensors. The sensor device is arranged to perform at least one high-power type measurement and at least one low-power type measurement and includes at least one image sensor arranged to depict a person by a measurement of said high-power type. Each of the low-power type measurements over time requires less electric power for operation as compared to each of the high-power type measurements. The method includes detecting a potential presence of the person using at least one of said low-power type measurements. The method includes producing, using one of the high-power type measurements, an image depicting a person and detecting a presence of the person based on im-age analysis of the image. The method includes detecting, using at least one of the low-power type measurements, a maintained presence of the person. The method includes failing to detect a maintained presence of the person.
