Radar and ZigBee Sensors for Senior Care Monitoring
Short answer: The OWON FDS315 uses a 60 GHz radar to detect falls, location of activity, out-of-bed events and breathing rate during sleep, and the OPS305 detects presence by radar even when a person is stationary. Both join a ZigBee gateway and can be combined with door, leak and multi-sensors.
Which sensors can be used?
| Sensor | Detects | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| FDS315 | Falls, location of activity, out-of-bed, breathing rate during sleep | 60 GHz radar; fall detection 4 × 4 m; single person only |
| OPS305 | Presence, including stationary people | 10.525 GHz Doppler radar; radius up to 3 m |
| PIR313 | Motion, temperature, humidity, illuminance | Battery powered; tamper detection |
| DWS332 | Door open / closed | Battery powered |
| WLS316 | Water leaks | Battery powered |
Installation notes
- Install radar sensors away from heating devices, large metal objects and other radar equipment, as described in the quick start guides.
- For sleep monitoring, install the FDS315 on the wall at the head of the bed.
- Do not install radar sensors on the same wall side as the door.
Regulatory note
Requirements for care applications differ by country. Check your local requirements for care and monitoring systems before deploying. This page describes device functions listed in the OWON quick start guides and makes no medical claims.

Frequently asked questions
Can the FDS315 detect falls for several people at once?
No. The FDS315 quick start guide states that fall detection works on a single person only.
