Home Smart Hardware
A 60GHz mmWave radar for bathrooms, bedrooms and corridors. Residents do not need to wear it, press anything or cooperate: a fall is reported immediately. No images are captured, so it can be installed in private spaces.
Model FD60A1 series · Ceiling / side mount × WiFi / 4G
61–62.5GHz FMCW radar · 68 × 68 × 32 mm · Indicator light on the underside of the body
Sensing capabilities
Fall, stationary presence, presence and motion are four different detection logics. The FD60A1 runs them in parallel on a single device, so you do not need two kinds of sensors in one room.
Detection range ≤ 1.5 m · Accuracy ≥ 90%
Recognizes falls within the radar's projected radius. After a fall is detected, the radar keeps verifying for a period before reporting, so a brief movement is not mistaken for a fall. The verification time is adjustable from 5 to 180 seconds: under 10 seconds for live demos, 60 seconds or more recommended for real projects.
Accuracy ≥ 95% · Default trigger 300 s
Raises an alarm when no activity is detected for a long time. The default trigger is 300 seconds; 30 minutes or more is recommended for real projects. In spaces such as bathrooms and bedrooms, a long period without movement is a signal in itself.
Vacant → occupied in 0.5 s
Switches from vacant to occupied in 0.5 seconds (occupied to vacant takes 60 seconds). It can trigger lighting, ventilation and other devices, so you do not need to install a separate presence sensor.
Motion trigger range ≤ 2 m
Senses movement direction and position, showing how a resident moves around the area. This is more detailed than simply knowing whether someone is there.
In the app
The device connects to the Xiaowei IoT App (Smart IoT App in the white-label version). Status, alarms and settings are all on this device page.
More details
Installation form, privacy boundaries and connectivity decide whether a device like this can be deployed in a project.
Why choose it
Fall detection ≥90%, stationary presence ≥95%. The report time is adjustable from 5 to 180 seconds, so you can balance false alarms against missed alarms on site.
mmWave passes through clothing, curtains, thin wooden boards and glass. Ceiling-mount and side-mount versions are available, so renovation is not needed just to line up the radar.
It senses people without capturing images. Barrier-free care becomes possible in bedrooms, bathrooms and showers, where cameras cannot go, and residents accept it far more readily.

Parameters are taken from the product manual and the core technical documents. If they differ from the markings on the unit, the manual prevails.
Before you choose
These are the restrictions stated in the manual. It is cheaper to explain them up front than to rework an installation.
The radar is modeled for a single target. Hospital wards or public restrooms with several people present can cause misjudgments, so use another sensing approach in those scenarios.
Moving metal, liquids and electric fans, as well as pets or metal curtains right next to the radar, can all trigger misjudgments. Avoid them when placing the unit.
The motor inside an air conditioner interferes with the radar's judgment. Do not aim the radar at the air outlet or install it facing the same direction as the air conditioner.
Clothing, curtains, thin wooden boards and glass can all be penetrated. The exact installation angle and scan range must be determined for the room layout.
Human signals are very low-frequency and weakly reflected. After power-on, the radar resets its internal circuits and self-learns the environmental noise, which takes a short warm-up.
Regular movements such as large curtain swings or opening and closing doors should be masked through placement and platform rule configuration.
