Infrared Sensors for Accurate People Tracking Solutions
Enhance safety, efficiency, and real-time monitoring with advanced infrared sensor-based tracking systems from IPEOPLE TRACKING.
Transforming Human Movement Monitoring with Infrared Technology
Infrared sensor technology is revolutionizing how organizations track human presence and movement. By detecting body heat and motion—without relying on cameras or capturing images—these systems offer a privacy-preserving solution for real-time monitoring. Their passive operation ensures energy efficiency and stable performance, even under varied lighting conditions.
Ideal for indoor environments, infrared-based systems require minimal infrastructure and integrate seamlessly into broader tracking ecosystems. They support intelligent decision-making, occupancy analysis, and regulatory compliance across diverse sectors.
Core Components
Hardware
- Thermal Infrared Sensor – Thermal Imagers & Industrial Endoscopes for wearable, embedded, and surveillance-based tracking — ideal for movement recognition, heat-based identification, and advanced people analytics.
- Thermal Scanner – Infrared Thermometers & Cameras for non-contact measurement, access control, health/safety applications, and environmental monitoring — suitable for large-scale, remote, and industrial people tracking.
- BLE Beacon with Led Light Motion Sensor – Motion-Sensing BLE Beacons equipped with a low-power Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, which detects movement and presence of people by sensing changes in infrared (IR) energy, such as human body heat. The built-in LED indicator provides instant visual feedback for motion detection events. When motion is detected, the beacon transmits this status wirelessly over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), enabling real-time people tracking and presence monitoring.
Software
- Real-time motion analytics and presence detection interface
- Alert rule engine for movement thresholds and zone breaches
- Heatmap generation and occupancy trend
- User permissions and access-based configuration
Cloud Services
- Real-time data syncing with secure encryption
- API-driven connectivity for smart buildings and facility systems
- AI-enhanced behavioral pattern recognition
- Centralized remote access and monitoring across locations
