Abstract
A presence detection system () for detecting a presence of an object (), particularly a person or an animal or vehicle, within an area () divided in detection zones (A;B;C;D) covering the area. The system comprises a movement detection device (A;B;C;D) for detecting a movement of the object. The system further comprises an electronic processing device () for storing information relating to a position of the object in a zone-wise way, based on a detected movement of the object. The electronic processing device is configured for determining the presence of the object within the area based on a detected movement of the object and stored information relating to the position of the object. The system is highly sensitive and highly prevents false presence detections. The invention also relates to a method for presence detection, and a lighting system comprising the presence detection system.
