PIR 8 Sensor Holder

This custom-designed enclosure is built specifically for the PIR 8 motion sensor, offering both protection and flexibility. It features a smooth ball joint connection that allows for easy angle adjustment, letting you fine-tune the sensor’s position for optimal coverage. The enclosure connects to a modular stand, available in three variants: a straight 65mm stand, a compact 35mm version, and a 65mm stand with a 60-degree tilt — perfect for mounting on angled surfaces or walls. Ideal for smart home automation, DIY security systems, or any motion-triggered setup where precision and adaptability matter.
