The CD-MV16 is an active microwave motion detector. It emits a high frequency electro-magnetic wave of 5.8GHz and receives the Doppler echo. The sensor detects the change in the Doppler echo even from the slightest movement in the detection zone. There are no blind spots. Detection is possible through doors, panes of glass and thin walls and soft furnishings. A built-in light sensor facilitates daylight harvesting.
