• Lighting Solutions

RIOT100 is specifically engineered for use in lighting systems. The design goal of this sensor is to provide a competitive advantage over traditional PIR sensors. High motion detection sensitivity achievable with radar sensors ensures that your lighting solution keeps track of a user’s presence even in scenarios when the user is sitting still and PIR sensors are unable to pick up any motion at all.

In addition to its advanced detection performance, this sensor is capable of recognizing the distance of any detected objects. It is thus possible to precisely limit the detection range to the area of interest. It is often hard to install and angle an outdoor PIR sensor in a way that prevents it from reacting to any passer-by outside of desired detection area while maintaining satisfactory detection performance. With our easy-to-use distance limiting feature, fiddling with the sensor orientation now belongs to the past.

Radars do not need an optical path like PIR and cameras or contact with the surrounding air like ultrasonic sensors. This is why they can be integrated behind a wide range of non-conductive materials such as plastic, wood, or even ceramics. There is no need for cut-outs or lenses that disrupt the appearance and texture of your product’s design.

• Security Systems

Radar is a very robust technology perfect for outdoor use. It can work in harsh weather conditions such as rain or snowfall and still provide highly sensitive and reliable detection of any intruders trying to enter a protected area. Any movement, no matter how slow, is detected.

Since radar security systems do not require any visible or IR floodlights, they can be fully concealed and installed discreetly and unobtrusively.

Radar is completely independent of ambient and object temperatures. Its main advantage is the fact that detection sensitivity will not degrade even when outside temperatures rise to the human body temperature and PIRs cannot detect any motion. Radar technology makes it impossible to mask the heat signature of a person to prevent being detected.

• Automatic Sliding Doors

Radar is already commonly used as the main activation technology for automatic sliding doors. However, nowadays most of the radars used in this application are simple motion sensors. More sophisticated models may even be able to detect the movement direction of objects but are incapable of any distance measurements.

With simple sensors, automatic door systems can be triggered by cross traffic or people standing in the vicinity of the door. RIOT100 enables precise distance measurement to define the exact trigger zone in front of the door and help differentiate between people lingering close to the entrance and those approaching with the intention to enter.

By knowing the distance and velocity of every object in the detection area, the system can calculate the arrival time of every person approaching the door. This improves cross-traffic cancellation and ensures that the door activates at the right moment, without people having to wait.
