DFRobot C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor is a high-precision 60GHz mmWave radar module designed for advanced human presence and behavior detection. Unlike traditional 24GHz sensors that only provide basic motion detection, this mmWave radar C1001 supports:
- Fall Detection
- Sleep Tracker functionality
- Motion Tracking
- Vital Signs Detection (Respiratory Rate & Heart Rate)
This mmWave radar delivers precise readings even when the person is completely motionless ideal for non-contact health monitoring and elderly fall detection sensor applications.
Compatible with Arduino, ESP32 and micro:bit. The mmWave radar sensor uses a point cloud imaging algorithm to recognize human postures and identify lying positions. It is widely used in nursing care, sleep tracker analysis, and smart health systems.
Features
Integrated Fall Detection Sensor
The C1001 mmWave radar uses point cloud imaging for posture recognition, including lying positions. It functions as a reliable fall detection sensor, detecting falls, duration of motionlessness, and inactivity intervals. With a detection range of up to 11 meters (when ceiling-mounted at 2.7m), this mmWave radar provides reliable alerts for safety-critical applications like elderly fall monitoring. Unlike conventional sensors, this fall detection sensor identifies both movement and stillness with high accuracy.
Comprehensive Sleep Tracker
In sleep mode, the mmWave radar sensor captures presence, movement, and breathing patterns. It serves as a non-contact sleep tracker, measuring respiratory rate and heart rate from a distance of 1.5 meters and generating a sleep score for health insights using mmWave radar technology.
