Motion Detectors / Movement Sensors

Why use them for paranormal research?

These are becoming much less expensive and therefore readily available to all prospective "ghost hunters. Nevertheless a good high quality set is recommended.

The obvious use for them is to hopefully capture any anomalous movement within the investigation area - whether this is a spectral from or the movement of an inanimate object through poltergeist activity or possibly moved by other paranormal means.

In an ideal investigation they would record the movement of a ghost! However the main use for movement sensors is often to ensure that no human has entered a specific area. Obviously if you can ensure no human involvement, tampering or fraudulent behaviour it helps to clarify when something happens that no obvious explanation relating to people's presence has occurred.

It is also possible to set up movement sensors, which can trigger a camera to record. That way you may be able to save on batteries ad tape usage by only recording when something has been sensed as moving in the vicinity. All of this can also be connected to a computer to log activity and times.

Motion detectors can also be linked to Surveillance cameras and Software / webcams and remote access viewing!
