The Verdict:
For low-cost, motion-only triggering, PIR suffices.
For identification, analytics, and where privacy is not a concern, cameras are suitable.
For high-reliability static presence detection, where privacy, environmental robustness, and discretion are paramount in premium automation, StarCore Tech's 60G mmWave XKC-LD002 is the superior choice. It perfectly balances performance, privacy, and reliability.
