Didactum Microwave Motion Detector

The Didactum Microwave Motion Detector is a state-of-the-art security and automation module based on microwave radar technology. It reliably detects motion and presence – even through non-metallic obstacles such as glass, wood, or plastic. This makes it ideal for professional use in server rooms, data centers, offices, warehouses, technical rooms, and production environments.

Security in the Server Room

An unattended server room poses a high risk. Unauthorized access can cause severe damage within seconds. The Didactum server room motion detector responds immediately upon detecting presence. Typical scenarios include:

• Automatic activation of sirens and strobe lights
• Notifications by e-mail or SMS (via GSM/LTE gateway)
• SNMP traps to monitoring systems
• Integration with access control and video systems

This makes it a reliable intrusion detection sensor for critical IT infrastructures.

Integration into Monitoring & Building Automation

Installation is plug-and-play via an analog port of the Didactum monitoring system. Thanks to AutoSense, the motion detector is automatically recognized and displayed. Sensitivity, alarm types, and logic schemes can all be adjusted within the intuitive web interface. Typical applications include:

• Automatic lighting control (e.g., in offices, corridors, entrances)
• HVAC control based on presence
• Camera activation when movement is detected
• Energy-efficient control in smart building environments

Variants & Detection Ranges

The Didactum Microwave Motion Detector is available in three versions for optimal flexibility:

• Version 1: range 0 – 8 m
• Version 2: range 0 – 6 m
• Version 3: range 0 – 4 m

This ensures suitability for both small offices and large-scale server rooms or production halls.

Expandability & System Integration

• Sensor expansion units for connecting additional motion detectors
• Cable length adjustments for extensive infrastructures
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 integration with Nagios, PRTG, Zabbix, or other monitoring tools
• Modbus support for building management system integration

Typical Applications

• Server rooms & data centers: intrusion detection & burglary prevention
• Warehouses & technical rooms: presence monitoring of valuable equipment
• Offices & administration: convenient lighting control & access monitoring
• Production environments: machine area protection with intrusion alarms
• Corridors & entrances: automatic lighting & security alerts

Advantages of the Didactum Microwave Motion Detector

• Reliable motion detection even through non-metallic obstacles
• Energy-efficient presence detection for building automation
• Three versions with ranges up to 8 m
• Plug-and-play installation with AutoSense
• Scalable integration into monitoring and automation systems

Practical Examples

• Server room: motion after business hours triggers alarms and video recording
• Data center: combination of multiple motion detectors secures all points of entry
• Office space: presence detection controls lighting and HVAC systems for energy efficiency
• Production areas: intrusion protection through reliable detection at machine zones

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the microwave motion detector different from classic PIR sensors?
It detects motion through non-metallic obstacles, while PIR sensors only cover line-of-sight areas.

How is integration done?
Plug-and-play connection via analog port, automatic detection through AutoSense.

Can sensitivity be adjusted?
Yes, thresholds can be configured individually via the Didactum web interface.

Which systems can the motion detector be integrated into?
It supports SNMP and Modbus, ideal for Didactum monitoring systems and facility management.

The Didactum Microwave Motion Detector combines advanced microwave radar technology with easy plug-and-play integration. It is a versatile presence sensor for server rooms, data centers, offices, and industrial environments. With reliable motion detection through obstacles, multiple range versions, and SNMP/Modbus integration, it is a future-proof component of modern security and automation concepts.
