- What does the Rd-03D actually output?
- It sends target data over UART: presence, position and trajectory for multiple people. Your microcontroller reads and interprets that stream; the module does no alarm logic itself.
- How is it different from a PIR motion sensor?
- A PIR sensor triggers on moving heat sources and goes quiet when a person stops. The radar keeps sensing people who are still and can report where several of them are.
- Can it see through walls or covers?
- It senses through plastic and glass covers, which is why it suits hidden installation in hubs and panels. It does not see through walls or metal.
- What do I need to get it running?
- A 5V supply, a microcontroller with a UART port set to 256000 bps, and wiring to the 1.25 mm 4-pin socket. The box holds one module and one socket.
- How far does it detect people?
- Expect room-scale range, roughly several meters, with accuracy falling off at the edges and through thick covers. Mount it at chest height facing the area you want to watch.
- Is it a standalone security device?
- No. It is a sensing module for a host system. You pair it with a controller that handles alerts, automation or logging.
