Eclipse People Counter

Overhead AI-Powered Sensor for Reliable Foot Traffic Data

Retailers, facility managers, and public venue operators seeking accurate people counting in challenging environments often choose overhead image-processing sensors. The Eclipse People Counter from Traf-Sys performs well in high-traffic areas, under varying lighting conditions, and across wide entrances where other systems may struggle.

Mounted above entrances and paired with VisiCount software, the Eclipse delivers directional counts and supports monitoring across multiple doors, facilities, or even thousands of counting points on a single network.

How the Eclipse Uses AI for Accurate Counting

The sensor employs AI technology to distinguish human movement from nearby objects or non-human motion. It tracks direction—recording entries and exits separately—which provides clearer data on actual occupancy and flow patterns. This directional awareness improves the reliability of pedestrian traffic statistics.

The Eclipse offers flexible connectivity. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and includes a built-in Ethernet port for configuration and data transfer. For installations where running cables is difficult, it can connect via Wi-Fi using WPA2-Personal encryption.

The Advantages of Overhead Image Processing People Counting

Overhead sensors like the Eclipse provide several practical benefits compared with other counting methods:

  • Extended coverage — Different lens options allow the system to monitor larger or double-wide entrances and open mall-style spaces.
  • Adaptability to conditions — The sensor automatically adjusts to changes in lighting or temperature that might affect thermal-based units.
  • Remote access — IoT support enables monitoring and configuration from internet-connected devices.
  • Data protection — Built-in flash memory automatically stores more than a week of counts during power outages.
  • Demographic filtering — The system can filter out children, strollers, and shopping carts to focus on relevant adult customer traffic.
  • Straightforward maintenance — Software updates keep the unit current without complex hardware changes.

These capabilities help organizations obtain dependable foot traffic totals that support better staffing and business decisions.
