As the name suggests, it detects the motion of anyone who passes in front of it be it a team member or the actual ghost. If your team places the motion sensors in particular locations and it gets some activity, you can determine the room where the ghost resides.

You will get a visual cue (when it shows a green light) and an audio notification when the sensor is triggered due to movement. You will also see an indication on the map.
