Honeywell Launches Entry-level PIR

Honeywell  introduced a new hardwired passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor designed to reduce false alarms in residential environments. The new IS335 Motion Detector uses a series of advanced optics to prevent a range of objects – from large pets, to reflected lights, to tiny insects – from affecting the sensor and tripping an alarm system.

Quick and easy to install, the IS335 is an economical and reliable option for all residential applications. It features selectable pet immunity for animals weighing up to 80 pounds, an always-enabled LED, wall-to-wall coverage with a range of 40X56, and a look that blends with any décor.

The IS335 integrates fully with Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services when used with VISTA control panels, providing security dealers with an excellent opportunity to earn recurring monthly revenue (RMR).

Once in operation, the IS335 provides 2,000 lux of white light immunity, which helps reduce false alarms caused by lights, flashlights or reflective objects. Additionally, the device uses a custom-designed Fresnel lens to provide a constant level of detection to deliver the best performance regardless of the distance.

The IS335 completes Honeywell’s IS3000 and DT8000 PIR and DUAL TEC family—a portfolio of high-performance indoor motion detectors that satisfy the demands of virtually any installation, from the most basic residential to the most complex commercial application. All sensors have a sleek, modern look to meet evolving needs and styles, are compatible with the industry’s leading security panels and contain selectable features that let installers use the same models in a variety of different applications – reducing the need to stock multiple units.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
