Abstract (en)

An intruder detection arrangement has a passive infra-red sensor (10) for detecting the presence of an intruder in a predetermined zone of protection and an IR anti-masking detection unit (20) for detecting the presence of masking material M in view of sensor (10). A signal processing circuit (30) is responsive to outputs from the sensor (10) and the detection unit (20) producing an intruder alarm signal in response to an output from sensor (10) and an anti-masking alarm signal in response to an output from unit (20). The signal processing circuit is arranged to cancel the anti-masking alarm signal in response to an output from sensor (10) produced after the output from unit (20) that gave rise to the anti-masking alarm signal. <IMAGE>
