Microwave Radar Sensor RCWL 0516

The RCWL-0516 is a human body motion detection sensor. A sensor that detects, through induction, human body movement. With a range of roughly 7 meters, you can't go wrong in detecting intruders. And don't worry - there is no need to fear radiation - it emits less than your mobile phone does.

Features

"With the Doppler radar technology this is a microwave sensor module, which is specially designed for the detection of moving objects and human bodies. The module has many advantages such as high sensitivity, long sensor distance, wide sensor angle, high reliability, wide range the operating voltage. Popular into human body sensing lighting system, anti theft alarm system." [from manufacturer]
