Dynamic sensors: measure the acceleration or speed of a movement. They are mounted on the moving element.
- Measurement of speed, acceleration, angle of inclination (acceleration of gravity)
- Gradual analog response, whose intensity depends on the measurement
- Contact sensors
Note: The compass is not dynamic, but is often used in the same circumstances as the inclinometer/accelerometer.
Motion or speed sensors: fixed in a setting or location, they monitor movements within their range.
- Speed measurement, motion detection
- Complexe, analog response
- Contactless sensor
