    Abstract: A motion detecting system includes a microwave motion sensor and an MCU. After detecting a motion with a first configuration, the microwave motion sensor is configured to operate with a second configuration for detecting another motion. The MCU is configured to operate in different modes for performing corresponding actions based on whether the microwave motion sensor can detect motions with different configurations, thereby reducing power consumption. The present motion detecting system can determine the type of motions detected by the microwave motion sensor, thereby reducing the false alarm rate.
