C1001 60GHz mmWave Indoor Fall Detection Sensor for Arduino / ESP32 / micro:bit (11 Meters)

The C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor is a high-precision 60GHz millimeter-wave radar sensor engineered for advanced human detection. Unlike standard 24GHz millimeter-wave sensors that are limited to detecting presence, speed, and distance, the C1001 sensor offers enhanced detection capabilities, including fall detection and sleep monitoring. Its ability to recognize human postures using a point cloud imaging algorithm allows for the detection of whether someone is lying down and for the precise monitoring of life signs. This sensor can detect motion or even when a person remains static, making it superior to traditional sensors like PIR, which require movement to detect presence.

The C1001 sensor’s comprehensive monitoring capabilities provide accurate and detailed insights into human activity, improving safety and health monitoring while enhancing the overall user experience. Compatible with ESP32, micro:bit, and Arduino UNO development boards, this sensor can be easily configured and used with the Arduino IDE.

 

Integrated Fall Detection Function

The C1001 sensor features a point cloud imaging algorithm that accurately recognizes human postures, including detecting when a person is lying down. It effectively reports fall incidents, the duration of immobility, and periods of physical inactivity. With the ability to detect motion over a wide area (up to 11 meters) when mounted on the ceiling at a height of 2.7 meters, the C1001 ensures precise fall detection. This capability enhances safety monitoring, particularly in elderly care, by providing timely alerts for fall incidents. Unlike other sensors that fail to detect static bodies, the C1001 excels in recognizing both motion and stillness, making it highly reliable.

 

Comprehensive Sleep Monitoring

In sleep monitoring mode, the C1001 tracks human presence and movement, analyzing variations in body movements and respiratory rates throughout the night. It accurately measures breath frequency and heart rate from a distance of 1.5 meters, offering valuable insights into sleep quality and overall health. By integrating these parameters, the sensor delivers a detailed sleep score, aiding in a better understanding of sleep patterns and health.

Comprehensive Setup and Configuration Support

The C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor comes with extensive and detailed usage and configuration tutorials. These guides cover everything from hardware setup to software integration, ensuring smooth implementation and optimal performance. The tutorials include:
