Quick Guide to People Counting Tech

Don’t have time or patience to search through a whole website? See our quick guide to our people counting and footfall solutions here.

Our people counters are split into 2 primary categories: Beam Counters, and Overhead Counters.

 

 

Infra Red Beam Counters

Simple, affordable, flexible

These are the most basic solution that Axiomatic offer. They are mounted on a wall, just inside of an entrance, ideally between waist and shoulder height.

They operate on the principle of a break-beam people counting system. The counter fires out an infrared beam across the path where people will be walking. When it detects the beam is broken (by a person walking past) it registers that as a count.

Beam counters are a basic, flexible, cost effective solution. We provide indoor variants that are mains powered, and we also provide a range of battery powered and IP54 rated weather-proof versions for outdoor use.

Beam counters are great for overall trends and low traffic areas, but if you want to be counting lots of people and need higher accuracy, we’d recommend one of our…

3D Stereoscopic Counters

Accurate, centralised reporting

Compared with beam counters, overhead counters are a far more accurate way of counting people.

These people counting devices are placed on the ceiling just inside an entrance, looking down. They work by capturing detecting and tracking visitors as they pass underneath, through the tracking zone.  As they pass back and forth, they are registered as in and out counts.

Each of these technologies has its pros and cons, and each are better suited to certain environments or conditions. Get in touch to provide us with a bit more information, to see what we would recommend for you.

Retrieving Your Footfall Data

Now, once it has been established which counter would be ideal for your environment, we need to think about how you are going to be able to view your data. This can be done in a variety of ways.

The options for our Beam Counters are:

  • Reading the data from the screen of the unit itself.
  • Taking the data from the unit on a USB drive, plugging that into your server, and viewing your data in is raw format or in our reporting suite.

The options for our Overhead Counters are:

  • Connecting the counter, with an ethernet cable, to your server to automatically generate your daily, weekly and monthly reports in our reporting suite. You can also export the raw data, if you prefer, to be used in your own systems
  • We can also host the service for you, all you then need is a broadband connection on site and you simply browse to our online reporting dashboard

 

– There are options for transferring your data over autonomous 4G connectivity.
