DSS DS-MR24: A High-Precision 24GHz Microwave Motion & Presence Sensor

The DSS DS-MR24 is a compact, low-power radar sensor module operating in the 24GHz ISM band. Manufactured by DSS (Delft Sensors Systems or an affiliated OEM partner), this device is designed for high-resolution motion detection, micro-motion sensing, and presence tracking. Unlike traditional Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, the DS-MR24 uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology, enabling it to detect not only large movement but also subtle motions like breathing or typing.

Security best practices

• Change default admin credentials and create separate viewer accounts.
• Disable unused services (FTP, UPnP) and limit remote access.
• Enable HTTPS and update firmware from vendor only.
• Place camera behind tamper-resistant housings if in reachable areas.

Key features (assumed common to MR series)

• Resolution: Up to 4MP or 1080p options depending on SKU.
• Lens: Varifocal or fixed lens (typical ranges 2.8–12 mm).
• IR night vision: Built-in IR LEDs for low-light operation (range often 20–30 m).
• Weather rating: IP66 or similar for outdoor use.
• Power: PoE (802.3af) and/or 12V DC.
• Compression: H.264/H.265 support for efficient storage.
• Motion detection: Onboard VMD and event triggers.
• Mounting: Ceiling or wall mount with adjustable gimbal.

Where to Buy the DSS DS-MR24

Given its commercial nature, the DS-MR24 is rarely found on Amazon or Best Buy. Authorized distributors include: dss ds-mr24

• ADI Global Distribution
• Anixter
• Alibaba Verified Suppliers (for bulk orders)
• Specialized MDVR retailers (e.g., Obersee, Surveon)

Price estimate: $350 - $550 USD depending on the 4G module configuration and accessories. A full fleet installation (including 4 cameras, HDD, and labor) typically costs $1,200 - $1,800 per vehicle. DSS DS-MR24: A High-Precision 24GHz Microwave Motion &

Video & recording configuration

• Set resolution and frame rate: 1080p at 15–25 fps balances quality and bandwidth.
• Enable H.265 if supported to save storage.
• Configure motion detection zones to reduce false alarms (exclude trees, roads).
• Set recording schedule: continuous for critical areas, motion-based elsewhere.
• Test playback and export a clip to verify recording integrity.

DSS DS-MR24 vs. The Competition

How does the DSS DS-MR24 stack up against similar units from Hikvision (DS-7216HQI) or Dahua (X82R2A)? Change default admin credentials and create separate viewer

| Feature | DSS DS-MR24 | Hikvision DS-7216HQI | Dahua X82R2A | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Max Channels | 24 | 16 | 32 | | Max Analog Res | 4K (8MP) | 4K (8MP) | 4K (8MP) | | SATA Ports | 4 (40TB) | 2 (20TB) | 4 (40TB) | | Price Point | Mid-Range | Budget | High-End | | Audio Inputs | 16 | 1 | 8 |

Verdict: The DS-MR24 hits the "sweet spot" for 24-channel users. It offers double the storage bays of the Hikvision equivalent (allowing RAID 1 mirroring) but at a lower price than the Dahua professional series.
