Door sensors all use the same basic design in order to determine if the door to the cargo is closed or opened. The location and environment in which the sensor is situated will have a significant impact on its performance. For example, the presence of direct sunlight or heat sources may limit a sensor's range and accuracy. The ability of sensors to detect motion can be affected by noise levels.
