If you are walking through a sensor's field of view, stop completely, and then start moving again, the sensor might miss the second movement because it is still stabilizing from the first. In robotics or high-speed detection scenarios, this latency can be an issue. However, for standard security and lighting, it is negligible.
The white dome is a Fresnel lens . It focuses infrared light from multiple angles onto the tiny pyroelectric sensor inside. PIR Motion Sensor HW416B - Tayda Electronics hw-416-b pir sensor datasheet
The sensor uses a simple 3-pin interface usually found under the white Fresnel lens: Connect to 5V power. If you are walking through a sensor's field
HW-416-B → Arduino VCC → 5V GND → GND OUT → Digital Pin 2 and then start moving again
