How to Use People Counting

1. Introduction

To the flow of people, we added People Counting as an advanced function to our . It has been well-received by the market since released.

Now, we release version 4x.7.0.77, separating People Counting from VCA and adding Statistics Report function. From this article, you can have a better understanding about People Counting, Analysis Settings and Analysis Search.

Note: Only camera firmware version 4x.7.0.77 or above supports this function.

1.1 What is People Counting 

People Counting is able to count how many people enter or exit during the setting period, which can therefore serve multiple purposes such as helping retailers to count how many customers came in a day. It records the number of people passing through the line automatically. People who cross along the direction of the arrow will be recorded as IN. On the contrary, they will be recorded as OUT.

1.2 Installation Suggestions 

When the camera counts, it will frame each object. To ensure the accuracy of counting, we need to let the object pass the line completely. There are two installation suggestions as follows.

• Top Mounting: Top-mounted cameras can better separate people passing side-by-side. 

• Wall Mounting: Wall-mounted cameras can better identify people.
