      @bhepler Which picamera did you use? The normal or the NoIR version?

          @ZombieDE I went the PIR sensor route, but note that it does NOT work from behind the glass. It needs to be exposed to work, which sort of sucks (and is something I should have researched beforehand).

            And what do you recommend?

              I have a broad frame and a quite small PIR sensor (this one, pictures of mirror here).

              Currently it’ hanging behind the frame and is seeable, but I want to 3D-print a small mount, to screw it to the frame, so it’s not visible and measure IR in the area of your feet when you pass the mirror

              So it’s possible to use a PIR sensor which is not visible directly when you have a broad frame

                      @elleclouds - If I understand you properly, then this is what you’re looking for: Motion Detection with RaspiCam Non-Module Version
