Our product, Radarlight, is lighting equipment consisting of a radar, LED lights and a radio communication unit. It is designed to capture reflected waves with its built-in radar, analyze them for detecting the motions of the care-receiver, such as getting up, leaving the bed and a fall, and send an alarm to the caregiver if necessary. Radarlight is a non-contact device and installed on the ceiling, requiring no changes in the care-receiver’s living environment while offering constant monitoring services.
1.The monitoring camera is built in the LED lighting equipment attached on the ceiling, which eases the care-receiver’s uncomfortableness from being watched all the time through conventional cameras and contributes to the protection of privacy.
2.The built-in radar in the LED lighting equipment enables non-contact measurement of the distance between the radar and the care-receiver and non-contact monitoring of his/her motions, and detects abrupt changes in positions and motions, such as a fall and crouch. (Unlike previous sensors, the care-receiver does not have to keep some kind of device on all the time.)
3.Our system can monitor the care-receiver 24 hours a day regardless of his/her whereabouts at home and send an emergency alarm to portable devices such as iPad.
1. 24 GHz radar
Size: 12 mm × 7 mm, CMOS process
World’s best radar capabilities: Detection distance: 0-4 m, Detection range: 160 degrees (The radar covers an area of about 13 m2.)
The system supports three modes of 2chCW, FSKCW and FMCW.
2. Distance measurement (multiple measurements possible), minute displacement measurement (±3m, respirometry) and difference detection contribute to capturing clear images of the target person.
3. The system is equipped twith a web server, database, wifi and Bluetooth. Data and information can be viewed with smartphones and tablet computers through the Internet.
