Motion sensors in this category feed facility monitoring and occupancy systems rather than standalone security alarms: sensors that detect movement or vibration in a server room or equipment space and report it into an environmental monitoring platform, and occupancy sensors that tell a room control system when a space is in use. Both exist to trigger an automated response - an alert or a control action - rather than to sound an alarm on their own.
Match each sensor to the system it must report into - server-room motion and vibration sensors are typically accessories to a specific monitoring platform, while occupancy sensors pair with a room's lighting or AV control system, and the two are not interchangeable. Placement affects reliability more than the sensor model does; mount motion and vibration sensors where unauthorized access or physical disturbance would actually occur, and occupancy sensors where they can see the areas of the room people actually use. For unattended server rooms, confirm the monitoring platform actually alerts on sensor triggers rather than only logging them. COLAMCO supplies motion and occupancy sensors alongside the monitoring and control systems business, government, and education facilities operate.
