Zero-power infrared sensors

Sensible sensors with uninterrupted operation and unprecedented accuracy.

Sleep, yet alert

A sensor that knows when to use battery energy. Zepsor’s technology does not consume any battery power to monitor the environment in standby mode, instead it wakes up and uses the battery to perform functions only when the signal of interest is present.

Problem

State-of-the-art sensors drain battery power continuously regardless of the presence of target signal resulting in a short battery lifetime.

Solution

Exploit the energy contained in the signal of interest rather than the battery to do the job.
