Hi there,

I am in search of a sensor that will connect with an arduino and detect human motion through a thick window at short distances. (approx 0m-2m)

Would one of these work for the application?

Or maybe lidar?

Thanks!

Hi David,

The Gravity Microwave Motion Detector Sensor will probably work.
You can also look at the SparkFun Qwiic Human Presence Sensor Breakout - AK9753.
Lidars also would work but detecting through a window (assuming it’s glass) will reduce its effective detection range.

hello,
can you be more precise when you write " human " .
Do you want to be able to trigger ONLY a human body ? no animal, no rain or cloud …
human - human ?

Thanks Brahim,
The Microwave motion detection system works great!

@ Zgo - yes was only looking for human triggering.

I was using PIR to begin with until i did a window test… Issue solved now!
