People counting and occupancy you can act on
Know how many people came in, how long they stayed, where they went and when you need more staff on the floor, using accurate camera-based counting.
People Counting & Occupancy
Retailers, gyms, libraries and offices use footfall to plan staffing, measure campaigns and manage capacity. Camera-based counting is more accurate than door beams and shows where people go, not just that they came in.
Counts, dwell times and heat maps appear in simple reports that managers actually read.

Frequently asked questions
Is people counting a privacy concern?
Counting works on movement, not identity. We configure it to record counts and zones only, and help you post appropriate signage.
How accurate is it?
Overhead camera counting is typically far more accurate than door beams, especially for groups. We tune each entrance during commissioning.
Can I use the same cameras for security?
Often yes, though the best counting position is directly overhead. We'll recommend the right mix for your site.
