Are there limitations to what Walabot can detect?

Asked 4 months ago
Yes, Walabot has certain limitations regarding what it can detect. Designed primarily as a wall scanner, it uses radio frequency technology to identify materials behind walls. However, its effectiveness may vary based on several factors. For example, Walabot is optimized for detecting objects such as wood, metal, and plastic, but it may struggle with certain types of insulation or non-standard materials. Additionally, the thickness and density of the wall can impact detection capabilities. Thicker or denser walls may interfere with the signals used by Walabot, making it harder to discern what lies behind the surface. Also, the device performs best at specific ranges. If the target object is too close or too far away, the detection may not yield accurate results. Furthermore, while Walabot can provide information about the presence of objects such as studs, wires, or pipes, it does not have the capability to provide detailed imaging or analysis of those objects. Users should consult the user manual for specific guidance on what types of materials can be detected effectively and under what conditions.
