See What You Measure: Radar + Camera Fusion Transforms Water Monitoring at ¥4,500

Discover how Ecolor's 80GHz radar+HD camera integration achieves ±1mm accuracy, 30m range, solar power, and IP68 for non-contact urban drainage, irrigation, and ecological flow monitoring at an unbeatable ¥4,500 suite.

±1mm Accuracy, 30m Range, Solar-Powered & IP68-Rated

Ecolor’s integrated 80GHz radar and HD camera delivers unprecedented precision and reliability for non-contact water level and flow monitoring—ideal for urban drainage, smart irrigation, and ecological applications—all in a rugged, solar-ready ¥4,500 suite.

The Visual Perception Revolution Has Arrived

For decades, water monitoring has been trapped in a paradox: the more critical the measurement point, the harder it is to access on site. Confined spaces, toxic gases, long-term sensor immersion, floating debris interference—engineers have had to make difficult trade-offs between personnel safety and data quality. In 2025, this trade-off ends completely. Millimeter-wave radar and full HD cameras are deeply integrated into a compact all-in-one device, reshaping the rules of hydrological monitoring. Ecolor Technology has pioneered the Visual Fusion Radar Water Level Gauge, with ±1 mm ultra-high accuracy, 30-meter long-range measurement, and a ¥4,500 complete unit price, redefining the new standard for smart water monitoring.

Why Traditional Monitoring Frequently Fails

Imagine a municipal drainage well buried beneath an urban road: operations personnel need real-time water level and flow data to prevent overflow. Traditional solutions are frustrating—manual entry poses high risks; submersible sensors become clogged with silt and oil within weeks; ultrasonic level meters are highly susceptible to interference from foam, scum, or oil films, producing false echoes. According to the 2024 China Urban Water Infrastructure Annual Report, over 60% of drainage well monitoring points require at least one manual intervention per year, with an average single safety incident cost of ¥12,000. Meanwhile, contact sensors in harsh sewage environments have an average trouble-free operating time of only 18 months, trapped in a vicious cycle of repeated replacement and frequent calibration.

Ecological flow monitoring at hydropower stations faces a different dilemma: discharge channels are often inaccessible, with extremely high flow velocities and dangerous measurement locations, making manual deployment impossible. Ultrasonic instruments are prone to drift due to temperature variations and wind disturbances. Previous radar solutions lacked visual verification—operators could not determine whether the radar beam was actually hitting the water surface or being "fooled" by a floating log.

Core Pain Point: Invisible Means Untrustworthy

Measurement without visual verification is like gambling with data for operations personnel.

The Fusion Breakthrough: Radar + HD Camera = What You See Is What You Measure

Ecolor Technology's new 80GHz FMCW radar + HD camera module completely eliminates guesswork. This is a truly "three-in-one" intelligent sensing terminal: a non-contact water level gauge, a Doppler surface velocity meter based on water surface micro-motion, and a 1080P visual lens supporting real-time video streaming and high-definition snapshots. With simple pole + expansion bolt installation (no personnel need to enter the well), the sensor is suspended above the water surface. The electric pan-tilt allows remote precision focusing and tilt angle calibration, ensuring the radar beam is always vertically incident and the image clearly covers the entire measurement area—so every reading has a visual record.
