Understanding Pulse Count & Double Knock Technology
Pulse Count: Your Environment-Adapting Security Tool
Pulse count is an intelligent signal processing feature that helps your motion detector work smarter in challenging environments. Here’s how it benefits you:
-
Environment Adaptation: Instead of physically masking detection zones or reducing sensitivity (which could compromise security), pulse count lets you digitally fine-tune how the detector responds to movement.
-
Practical Example: If your detector covers an area with:
• Light curtains or drapes
• Tree branches or foliage
• Fluttering flags or decorations
You can simply increase the pulse count setting. This means the detector will require more consecutive detections before triggering, ignoring brief movements while still catching real intrusions.
Double Knock (Dual Pulse): Extra Verification for Fewer False Alarms
This advanced feature (found in most modern PIR detectors including our Kwêbeams) adds an extra layer of verification:
-
How It Works:
-
The detector senses an initial movement (first “knock”)
-
It waits to confirm a second movement within a set time
-
Only then does it trigger an alarm
-
-
When to Use It:
• Areas with occasional small animals
• Locations near heating/cooling vents
• Environments with subtle air movements
• Anywhere you’ve experienced nuisance alarms before -
Kwêbeams Compatibility: Our systems let you activate this feature whenever your situation demands more reliable detection.
Why These Features Matter:
✓ Maintain full detection coverage while reducing false alarms
✓ No physical modifications needed to your detector
✓ Digital adjustments mean you can change settings as conditions change
✓ Works with your existing security infrastructure
Pro Tip: Start with standard settings, then gradually adjust pulse count or enable double knock if you experience environmental triggers – it’s all about finding the perfect balance for your space!
