Imagine a car that can sense every passenger, child seat, or stray object without a camera watching you. The Novelic ACAM200 60 GHz In-Cabin Monitoring Radar does exactly that. It uses radar waves to see inside the cabin, so you get reliable safety alerts even when light is low or seats are covered. Drivers who worry about child safety, seat-belt reminders, or intrusion will find this sensor essential.
Novelic ACAM200 60 GHz In-Cabin Monitoring Radar
The main problem is that traditional cameras cannot work in darkness or when objects block the view. This creates blind spots that reduce safety features. The issue matters because missed detections can lead to injuries or legal penalties. The ACAM200 solves it by sending 60 GHz radar pulses that bounce off people and objects, creating a complete picture of the cabin without needing a line of sight.
