ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Each doorway or passageway between rooms in which a device may be located is fitted with another device which detects motion and the direction of the motion through the passage. Each room is equipped with a signal emitter that is controlled by the motion detector at the room's passage. The signal emitted by the signal emitter is received by a monitor which monitors the status of the device which happens to be located in that room. The emitted signal informs the monitor when there has been motion into the room (audience increase) or when there has been motion out of the room (audience decrease). Motion between rooms will result in a decrease signal being sent by the signal emitter in one room and an increase signal being sent by the signal emitter in the other room. If no device and monitor are located in a room, the increase or decrease signal is ignored by the audience monitoring system. If a monitor is located in the room, however, the increase or decrease signal received by it from the signal emitter will cause the monitor to issue an immediate prompt, to remind the persons in the room to push the keys of an inputting device to report the identity of the individuals who must entered or departed. The monitor will record this information, the time of day, and information received from the inputting device, such as channel selection and the like in the case of a television. The present invention may also be connected to a distributed monitoring system which monitors each device and each passageway in the house equipped with the motion detector of the present invention.
