Default Alarm question - PIRs, window contacts or optical boundary?

Bats tend to fly up into corners of rooms (looking for something

Maybe there's circuitry within the sensor (assuming it's not actually a
combined PIR/ultrasonic one) which happens to oscillate in the bat's
hearing range that they find "interesting" ...
