Abstract: The present invention is a motion detection system that will consistently report detected movement, while reducing the number of false reports. The motion detection system includes a receiver and a dual sensor motion detector. The dual sensor motion detector utilizes sensors mounted in a weatherproof chassis. The dual sensors are located at the same vertical height in the weatherproof chassis and separated by a predetermined distance from the center of the chassis. Each sensor is rotated at an angle away from the center of the chassis. Each sensor has a coverage area dictated by its viewing angle (or field-of-view) and viewing distance. By utilizing dual sensors, a user can set the dual sensor motion detector to an AND operation or an OR operation. Motion is detected when both sensors detect movement simultaneously or motion is detected when any one of the two sensors detects movement.
