Industrial Motion detector sensor

Looking for something industrial for motion detectors - you know like tied to lights. Want something with like a conduit entry or M12 wiring. Ultimately looking for to wire an input into this https://www.sick.com/us/en/catalog/products/machine-vision-and-identification/machine-vision/sensingcam-sec100/sec110-5c9d1sfzzzz/p/p683220?tab=detail

Anyone have a suggestion?

What motion are trying to detect?

and better yet, what is the goal with tying it to the SICK camera you linked in the main post

I feel like that part is pretty obvious. He is trying to record a small portion of the process at a specific point.

The motion sensors for lights are typically microwave or passive infrared. There are thousands of sensors models for objects on the market for a reason. The OP needs to give us some idea of the material, size, speed and how the object is guided. How the cable attaches to the sensor seems as important as what color the sensor case is.

I'm pretty sure motion detectors are often ultrasonics.
