Will Hopkins Backup Sensor System Detect a Human Person
Question:
I am inquiring about he sensing agility of the Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount Item # HM60100VA. I have been searching for a sensor that will detect a soft object such as a person vs a solid object. All of the back up ultrasonic sensors that I have investigated work well with solid materials but not soft such as a person. I have also looked at radar sensor which work will but only if the car is not moving, including if the person in the vehicle shift in the seat causing the vehicle to move on the springs. These are only good when mounted on a stationary object such as a building or lamp post. I was wonder if this HM60100VA sensor does better of sensing soft object. There are a number of ultrasonic back up assist sensor that work but not with soft objects. Do you have an understanding of the HM60100VA and soft objects? Thank you
