From the manufacturer
What is Walabot DIY?
Walabot DIY is a cutting-edge wall scanner that takes stud finder technology to the next level. Capable of "seeing" up to four inches into walls, it uses radio frequency technology to locate stud centers, track water pipes and electrical wires, and reveal other objects you need to know about to avoid a drilling disaster.
The Walabot Difference
See it, don’t hear it! Other stud finders beep to alert you that an object has been found inside your wall, without showing you whether it’s a stud you want to drill into or a pipe or wire to avoid. Now you can drill smarter and safer with Walabot DIY. Only Walabot uses cutting-edge radar technology, enabling your smartphone to show you exactly what’s within your walls.
Walabot DIY 2
Walabot DIY 2 pairs with your iOS or Android phone (see below) to produce a visual image of what’s inside drywall up to a depth of 4 inches (10 cm). Your Walabot DIY 2 shows you the dead center of wood and metal studs, and it’s the only wall scanner that visually detects and tracks the paths of pipes and wires. It even enables you to find pests by detecting movement. Walabot DIY 2 is designed for everyone from home improvement novices to contractors, electricians, plumbers, and carpenters - anyone who needs advanced wall imaging capabilities. With Wi-Fi connectivity, Walabot DIY 2 can also be used separately from your phone – ideal for scanning hard-to-reach areas. It even comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, so it won’t drain your phone. Walabot DIY 2 offers two scanning modes: Images Mode displays a graphical representation of objects hidden in a wall and Expert Mode shows the raw data.
Images Mode: visual representations of metal and wooden studs, pipes, and wires
To use Images Mode, hold your Walabot DIY 2 flat against the wall, calibrate the device by moving it in a circular motion, and start scanning. Radio frequency waves will detect objects inside the wall and the data will be translated into images representing wooden studs, metal studs, pipes, and wires.
Expert Mode: see the raw radar data from your Walabot DIY 2
To use Expert Mode, hold the Walabot DIY 2 flat against the wall, calibrate the device by moving it in a circular motion, and position it over any objects you’ve already detected using Images mode. Expert Mode gives you a direct view of the unfiltered radio frequency data. This will confirm accurate detection and reveal additional detail, such as curves in pipes or wires, intersections between objects, and the movement of pests. You can also adjust the focus using the intensity bar to get the clearest picture of what’s in your wall.

That appears to be true, although I haven't seen quite the same stunning accuracy that the videos showed.
Unfortunately, most of my house is lath (plaster on wood lattice) and it's like lead to Superman's x-ray vision. Product is not so effective there. Not as useful to me as I had hoped.
Be warned, and be wary of what material you are using it on.
The visual stud finder feature to see just how good it
was at finding and displaying the studs through post
50s wallboard as per accompanying Walabot 2 instructions.
So I put up a 2‘ x 2‘ piece of wallboard in the garage where
to 2” x 4” studs crossed and extend it from behind the
wallboard. I found setup, and calibration was very easy.
After charging, I was ready to begin scanning the piece
of wallboard I had nailed up with the walabot 2.
As I move the Walabot 2 over the area of the wallboard
where the stud was located, the image appeared on my
display. The demarcation lines helped to locate the stud
center. I found it to be very accurate. The imaging stud
finding feature is definitely a keeper.
There’s another mode on the Walabot 2.
Which displays a real-time thermal image of what’s inside the wall.
Which is a very cool and handy feature, I have no personal use for
it at this time. However I am happily secure in the knowledge that
when that time comes, I already have my Wallabot 2 and couldn’t
be more satisfied. A very useful device.
