Automatic counting of people entering/leaving is used in many objects – shops, shopping malls to account customer numbers, airports, museums, reading rooms etc. In many countries such counters are required by law for shopping and office complexes so that in case of emergency it would be possible to know number of people in the building.
In access control systems such counters are used instead of turnstiles in some occasions - if someone enters without presenting authorized access pass then alarm is sounded for security personnel and takes a picture of the person passing.
We offer different people counting technologies:
- using infrared beams (light barriers). Advantage- reasonable price.Disadvantage- low precision when larger crowds are moving
- thermal sensor placed above (on the ceiling) is much more precise, but also costs more
- when the right cameras placed in right places are used, system can add people counting to video surveillance system using Video Analytics software
