Abstract

Infrared rays radiated from a moving object is converged into a plurality of infrared ray detectors by optical system. Detecting area is instituted by the optical system so as to put the infrared rays into a plurality of the infrared ray detectors with time difference therebetween. Signal processing unit produces a detecting signal when there is a predetermined time difference between signals produced by a plurality of the infrared ray detectors. It is possible to avoid wrong operation which is caused by popcorn noise and a differential noise having a bit of time difference caused by temperature gradient in space. Forming a curved imaginary boundary line, a plurality of detecting zones are disposed at out side and inside of the curved imaginary boundary line to detect the object invading from any direction.
