Radar perimeter security

It depends on the range and how many units the terrain calls for. One 60 m class unit covers thousands of square metres; the fixed price comes after measuring the shadows during the visit.

It is its ideal terrain: it covers large open surfaces with a single unit and one IP. The more open the plot, the better it performs.

24 GHz is the usual one for area surveillance; 60 GHz measures speed precisely and suits driveways and internal speed control. Chosen by use case.

Yes, it classifies person and vehicle; everything else stays “unknown”. A large dog or a wild boar is also “unknown”, which is why radar is paired with an AI camera.

The blind zone behind every solid object: a wall, a large hedge, the plant room. It is physics, not a defect; it is covered with another unit or LiDAR, and measured on site.

Yes: it does not interpret an image, it detects moving mass. Rain, shadows, headlights and insects on the lens do not affect it — those are the classic camera false-alarm causes.

Yes, via the “swaying objects” filter. In a Mediterranean garden with olives, oleanders and palms, that function alone justifies radar over a motion detector.

A 60 m class unit covers of the order of thousands of square metres for people; long-range variants reach tens of thousands. The exact figure depends on model and mounting.

Transmit power is below 100 milliwatts, a fraction of a mobile phone's, in a licence-free short-range band across the EU.

It can, but every wall casts a shadow. Heavily subdivided gardens need more than one unit or a stronger camera layer — decided by measuring, not from the catalogue.

Yes: it gives early vehicle warning, useful on long access drives. The 60 GHz unit adds speed measurement.

As a reference, around 3.5 m for the 60 m class; long-range variants mount higher. The correct height is set during the visit by terrain.

Little: it has no moving parts. On the coast the bracket and fixing are checked like the rest, because the weak point is usually the anchoring, not the unit.

No: radar detects, the camera verifies and identifies. Without the AI camera there is no reliable person-versus-large-animal classification.

On small plots (below roughly 500 m²) and heavily subdivided gardens with no plan for the shadows: there the money does more in cameras. We will say so before quoting.

It emits low-power radio waves and measures the reflections: for every moving object it obtains range, angle and speed in each measurement cycle, and builds a track from them. There is no rotating antenna — the whole sector is observed at once.

A 60 m class unit covers around 5,600 m² for persons with a single device; long-range variants reach tens of thousands of square metres. Below roughly 500 m² radar is over-specifying — and we will tell you so before quoting it.

No. Behind every solid obstacle there is a radar shadow — physics, not a defect. Subdivided gardens need combined units or a stronger camera layer; we measure the shadow on site during the visit.

Not fully: classification distinguishes person and vehicle, and everything else — a large dog or a wild boar included — remains “unknown”. That is why radar is always installed alongside an AI camera, which is what resolves the dog and the boar.

Transmit power is below 100 milliwatts — a fraction of a mobile phone's — in a licence-free short-range band across the EU.

Yes: it does not interpret an image, it detects moving mass. Rain, shadows, headlights and insects on the lens — the classic causes of camera false alarms — do not affect it, and wind-blown vegetation is filtered out in configuration.
