C1001 mmWave Human detection Sensor with ESP32, Life Detection, Fall Detection, Sleep Detection

See through different material with C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpaVmoSjfMaMn9U

[@aaron_nichols]

used in laptops, keyboard Backlighting, Battery Saving "mmWave, is the secret sauce" used more often than anyone could begin to imagine.

[@vigneshjothee9677]

Sorry to say this, mmWave Radar sensor doesn't detect human presence instead it detects any movement. And mm Wave radar sensors are only unusable under controlled conditions(Eg. Closed Room, without curtains, without objects that can move like paper, opened books, cloths, bed sheets, hanging charger cables etc.,). It can't be used at every places untill it can distinguish difference between human movements and object movements. From my point of view, a more reliable human presence can be achieved by combination of sensors like pir, mmWave,force Sensitive resistor/ strain gauges, AI object detection using camera (suitable for outdoor and common area that needs less privacy)

[@bradley3549]

Technically, you're right. mmWave can't directly detect humans. But what it can do is collect incredibly detailed motion information that, combined with the right algorithms CAN determine if the movement was caused by a human size and shape object or something else. And since living humans are *always* moving, the algorithm can use that to its advantage. The problem is that the algorithms are still a work in progress. But each iteration is getting better and better at rejecting non-human inputs best I can tell.

[@saratrajb]

so this isnt suitable for outdoor area..?

[@JustinDuijn]

@@saratrajbmost likely not, although it might be able to detect ghosts, yay!

[@winniethepooh1931]

Add BO sensor to detect what race.

[@agnelomascarenhas8990]

Doppler effect together with proper filter will work in principle. Similar principle is used with Ultrasound. Radar does not mean Amplitude detection. I don't know how this particular board works.

[@markusberg2770]

Great potential for skilled nursing facilities and home elder care. I didn’t hear discussion about effective far-field distance?

[@ElectroniClinic]

Considering this kind of technology available commercially to the public now, I don't have to wonder what it is like in the "research", military, intelligence, "security" domain, in the secret hidden lab somewhere.

[@Humbulla93]

i read somewhere that military is 50 years ahead, i remember wen HUD became standard in cars some 20 years ago, while the fighter jets of the late 50s! had them

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

I heard of some research where they fed wifi feedback to an AI and it was able to map out entire houses including peoples active movements. I believe this was done with some minor physical modifications to a normal wireless access point. I imagine a long range "gun" type version could be made where someone could kind of xray the inside of certain buildings.

[@andrew2004sydney]

Thanks for your video demonstration. What is the long term effect of a 60 GigaHertz signal at 6dBm continuously aimed at the human body for 8 hours per night (while sleeping)?

[@questioneverythingalways820]

Lol. Good luck with that

[@MrinalRaj11]

1. Absorption Depth: 60 GHz falls within the millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency band, which is heavily absorbed by the skin, typically penetrating only about 0.5-1 mm. This means most of the energy doesn’t reach deeper tissues or organs. 2. Thermal Effects: The primary effect of mmWave exposure at power levels typically used in wireless communications is heating. At 6 dBm (about 4 milliwatts), this is a low power level, and it is unlikely to cause significant thermal effects, especially if there is air circulation or a break in exposure. However, sustained exposure over 8 hours could cause localized skin warming, though research suggests this level should not significantly raise internal body temperature. 3. Biological Effects: Some studies have suggested that long-term mmWave exposure could influence cellular processes, immune response, or even induce minor stress responses in skin cells. However, the power levels required to reach these thresholds are typically higher than 6 dBm, and there’s no consistent evidence of harmful effects at low power levels like this over time. 4. Regulations and Exposure Guidelines: Current safety guidelines, such as those from the FCC and ICNIRP, establish limits well above 6 dBm for mmWave frequencies, as they are based on current research indicating no harmful effects below these thresholds for typical exposure durations.

[@glasseffect]

The sensitivity claims target a lab environment, contrary to real life situations. PIR and Doppler radar sensors like RCWL-0516 are enough for most practical applications. Even a dog will read as a human for a sensor, sensitivity is just a matter of magnitude. Some basic image recognition is required for applications like detecting human presence.

[@RandomTorok]

Oh, I need one of these. Our laundry room is downstatirs and I'd like to have a sensor that sees the person coming down the statirs and turns the lights on and then remains on while someone is in the room.

Thank you for introducing brilliant module. I did follow your instruction. I have problem that: the sensor show "Some one is present" and index of "Body movement parameter" but "Heart rate" and "Respiration rate" is 0 (C1001 sensor front under 1metter of me). Please help me. Hope to hear from you soon

[@Neilsnonsense1]

Does it work outside ok? Especially after rain. I've had issues with other radar sensors outside when it's wet. As the radar picks up bodies of water.

[@ElectroniClinic]

@@Neilsnonsense1 I didn't test it outside but it will work. I will perform more tests when my development Board is ready. By the way, to avoid false triggering during the rain you can use a rain sensor for better performance.

[@BenniK88]

Does it work with plastic in front of it if you print a case?

[@ElectroniClinic]

A similar thing I have already done but using a different sensor, I have added it's link in the description. That sensor can penetrate even walls.

[@craesh]

Most materials are opaque to millimetre waves, either reflecting or absorbing the waves. Some are indeed partially transparent, like the radar domes of aircrafts. A thin plastic case may work, having a thickness way below the wave length. But expect some attenuation, though. Walls... I seriously doubt it. Even 5/6 GHz WiFi is heavily attenuated by walls.

[@tozu8750]

can the sensor detect multiple people at once?

Is there a way to put this in every room and have it track a persons’ movement around the house? Is there a feature to share info between modules?

[@coderhex1675]

LoL ​@@eduardo33

[@craesh]

They way it works, it will detect any object which reflects millimetre waves. Any moist surface will. Animal skin is as moist as human's, so they will get detected for sure. The size may be relevant. I don't expect this to detect a mouse at 3 metres distance. But if it's able to distinguish between postures (as it's claimed in the video) it will certainly be able to detect a cat and anything bigger.

[@themarkca]

Could it sense humans but ignore a dog? Thinking of a secure dog door.

[@ElectroniClinic]

It will detect a dog but if you use a 2nd sensor along with c1001 mmWave sensor you can ignore a dog.

[@MinZhang-b4m]

[@KCNationDefense1]

Do I want 60gHz aimed at me? How many watts and how close does have to be for ionizing?

[@cheesepie4ever]

The frequency, not the power of an EM wave decides whether it is ionizing. This is due to the quantized (existing in discrete states) nature of electrons. From googling it seems that a wavelength of 1.24 nm or 2.4 million GHz would be ionizing. So the frequency would have to be several orders of magnitude higher to ionise

[@draculakickyourass]

It can detect only the human presence,not the direction ,also if you noticed during the test,it had a delay of 3-4 seconds till turned on the light, wich at the speed of a drone means it gets out of the 11 meters of detection range before detecting.....,also afected by the electronic scramblers, not a good idea.
