Movement detector
Within the detection systems we can find different types according to their operation, among them the most common:
- Infrared sensors
- Vibration sensors.
- Photoelectric sensors.
- Ultrasound sensors.
- Acoustic sensors
Each type of sensor uses different detection methods and each one is recommended according to the situation.
- Sensors by infraRrojos, are one of the most used types, thanks to its reliable operation and installation, since we can find this type of wired and wireless sensors.
The infrared sensor has a phototransistor capable of detecting the infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body, this type of radiation is not visible by the human eye. A change of radiation in its perimeter will activate the relay and proceed to send ato alarm signal.
Within these, there are two models, passive infrared sensor, which only has a phototransistor and assets, which have an emitter and a receiver. - Vibration sensors are used mostly in security systems, such as window sensors. car alarms etc.
Its operation is based on an accelerometer, through a piezoelectric sensor. This type of sensorDue to its construction material it allows to detect changes and pressure when emitting an electric charge. - Photoelectric sensors, these are the sensors that use photoelectric rays, normally a transmitter and a receiver are used, they are commonly used in automatic door systems, elevator doors, production chains, etc.
- The ultrasonic sensors are those that emit an acoustic signalabout 30 kHz, a signal that is not appreciated by humans. This signal or wave propagates through space, walls, objects, doors, etc. once the signal has spread the sensor is activated and any change will trigger the sensor.
These types of sensors are also used in devices that require measuring distances and detecting objects. - Acoustic sensors, are those that can detect the signal emitted by anyobject and are able to detect the pressures that the acoustic waves emit, such as the noise of the crystals when breaking a window.

DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a client-server network management protocol used to dynamically assign IP addresses and network parameters to devices. It operates over UDP ports 67 and 68 to automate network configuration.
Imagine a hotel where every guest needs a room number. Instead of picking a number yourself and risking taking an occupied room, a receptionist gives you an available key as soon as you arrive. When you leave, that room number is automatically freed for the next guest.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|
| OSI Layer | Application Layer |
| Transport | UDP |
| Ports | 67 / 68 |
DORA Process
DHCP operation follows the DORA sequence: Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledge, ensuring a client receives a unique IP address for a specific lease time.
Advantages
- Centralized IP management.
- Prevents IP conflicts.
- Supports device mobility.
DHCP is vital for the scalability of modern IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
BNC
The BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) is a miniature quick connect/disconnect RF connector used for coaxial cable.

VGA
The term VGA (Video Graphics Array or Video Graphics Adapter) is a graphics display system for PCs developed by IBM. VGA has become one of the standards for the PC image. In text mode, VGA provides a resolution of 720 by 400 pixels. In graphics mode, the resolution is either 640 by 480 (with 16 colors) or 320 by 200 (with 256 colors). The color palette is 262,144.Unlike earlier graphic standards for PCs - MDA, CGA, EGA and VGA - uses analog signals rather than digital signals. Since its introduction in 1987, several other standards have been developed that offer greater resolution and more colors (SVGA, XGA ...), but VGA remains the denominator used. All personal computers manufactured today still have support VGA, and possibly some other more advanced connection.
MicroUSB
or horizontal. The micro USB with five pins, which pins identification (ID) Micro AB USB connectors special work. AB connectors with pin ID can allow the device to function as a connector A or B to standard USB technology. This gives the new smart phones and other devices the option to act as either a single storage device or as provi
Mini USB
The mini USB connectors are smaller than their standard counterparts and have USB fifth pin. The fifth pin is known as the pin ID and is typically not used in mini USB connectors. It was designed to allow later improved USB technology. The mini USB connectors have a cycle life of at least 5000 connections and disconnections, which accommodates the mobile nature of the devices that are designed to interact. The standard USB connectors are generally used with devices that are stationary and not disconnected often.
