Ai-Thinker Rd-03L V2 24G Human Presence sensor
Discover the Ai-Thinker RD-03L V2, a cutting-edge, compact radar module engineered for ultra-low-power human presence detection. This advanced device combines sophisticated 24GHz millimeter-wave hardware with intelligent sensing firmware, making it an ideal solution for a variety of indoor smart applications that demand precision and efficiency.
At the core of the RD-03L V2 is the high-performance ICL1112 millimeter-wave SoC. This single-transmitter-receiver chip operates in the 24GHz K-band, offering robust range-finding capabilities. With an incredibly low power consumption of just 55µA, it employs FMCW continuous wave technology to detect even subtle human motion in real-time, providing unparalleled accuracy for occupancy sensing.
The module offers an impressive detection range of up to 8 meters, with fully customizable thresholds to fine-tune its performance. You can configure parameters such as:
- Adjustable trigger and hold distances for precise activation
- Configurable presence status updates for dynamic responses
- Flexible reporting frequencies to match application needs
- Customizable unoccupied timeout settings for energy efficiency
Featuring both GPIO and UART interfaces, the RD-03L V2 ensures effortless, plug-and-play integration into a broad spectrum of smart devices and IoT systems. Whether you're innovating smart lighting solutions, enhancing security systems, or developing advanced occupancy-aware automation, this module provides a flexible, developer-friendly platform with precise sensing and minimal power draw.
Applications
- Smart Home Integration: Accurately detect human presence and distance to enable intelligent control of household appliances and report monitoring data.
- Enhanced Smart Security: Integrate with access control and alarm systems, linking with cameras for automated and responsive security measures.
- Intelligent Lighting Systems: Precisely recognize human presence and location for public spaces or home lighting, including motion-sensing lamps, bulbs, desk lights, and mirror lights.
- Smart Retail & Commercial Environments: Detect customer approach or departure within specific zones, activating screens and maintaining device activity when people are nearby.
- New Energy & Parking Solutions: Automate EV charging station screen activation, monitor parking space occupancy, and prevent unauthorized human access near wireless charging areas.

3. International Warehouse
Our products are stored in both our U.S. and Shenzhen warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions tailored to different regions and customer needs. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location to help you better plan your purchase and delivery schedule.
3.1 U.S. Warehouse
3.2 Chinese Warehouse
We will only arrange YunExpressexpress shipping from Shenzhen for orders with products in the Shenzhen warehouse worth more than €50. Orders directly shipped from our Shenzhen warehouse are handled by YunExpress. Given the complexities of international shipping, the estimated delivery time for these packages is around 10 business days, though this may vary slightly due to customs processes or other uncontrollable factors. Otherwise, the products will first be shipped from China to our U.S. warehouse and then shipped to the final destination.
