RVP42-7M Vehicle Detection Radar Sensor for Smart Parking Lot Barrier Gate Access Control
Product Overview
The RVP42-7M is a high-performance 24GHz Doppler radar sensor designed specifically for smart parking barrier gate systems. Using advanced planar radar technology and digital signal processing, it delivers precise vehicle detection, direction recognition, and reliable access control even in challenging outdoor environments.
Key Benefits
- Accurate Vehicle Detection - Identifies cars, vans, and light trucks approaching or leaving the gate with 95% accuracy
- Direction Awareness - Distinguishes between inbound and outbound vehicles to trigger barrier arms intelligently
- Reduced False Triggers - Filters out pedestrians, bicycles, and lateral movements to avoid unnecessary gate activation
- Fast & Consistent Performance - Response time under 50ms guarantees seamless entry/exit without delays
- Harsh Environment Ready - Operates reliably from -30°C to +60°C with IP65 protection against rain, dust, and vibration
- Easy Integration - Configurable relay output, adjustable sensitivity, and flexible mounting heights simplify installation
