A complete guide to people counting technology and its uses. The State of People Counting

People counting sensors for all environments

SenSource (est. 2002) provides state-of-the-art people counting sensors. Paired with our people counting software, these sensors offer an opportunity to improve your operational efficiency. Our 2024 models boast the latest in 3D stereo vision technology and continue to come in a wide range of mounting heights for guaranteed accuracy.

Refined Results

In addition to accurate data, SenSource people counting sensors boasts these advanced features:

Group Count

An ideal filter for instances where a buying unit is more valuable information than individual counts, such as a furniture or appliance store. Sensor algorithms look at proximity and timing of individuals to determine the group and increment a single count.

U-Turns

Counting logic moves beyond a simple footfall counter. If a person doesn’t commit to fully entering your facility then leaves, the count will not be added to your data set. An important feature for retailers calculating shopper conversion rates.

Maintains Detection

Advanced algorithms detect and maintain tracking within the sensor’s coverage area and only increment entrance and exit counts when a person commits to a set threshold. This avoids counting the same person multiple times if they linger or browse.

Privacy Filters

The sensor’s validation video feed is used to confirm accuracy and adjust sensor settings. Should you need to restrict the video, we offer three levels of privacy filters. View examples of each privacy filter here.

Employee Exclusion

Automatically remove staff counts by equipping the team with specialty lanyards the sensor is trained to detect. This means you can count customers accurately, enabling true measurement of conversion rates and other types of engagement metrics.
