Hi community member,

Do you think the detection performance is influenced from the ground and any cause if a radar with Area Scanner demo mounted on ceiling?

If you have any ideas for configurations or improvements for ceiling mount, please let me know.

Best regards.

Hello,

The ground will affect some performance, as reflections from the floor can appear. However, it is usually manageable. Please see the overhead people counting demo for an example of implementing overhead detection without issues. You may just need to adjust the maximum range of the chirp config and output TX power.
