How Do Our People Counting Systems Work?
In order to provide the best possible data to our clients, Traf-Sys offers a variety of people counting systems, including overhead and horizontal door counters as well as thermal and video counters. Each of these systems works differently to provide accurate counts in different building layouts.
Horizontal entrance counters work by counting the number of times an infrared sensor is interrupted. These people counting sensors provide accurate data in narrow doorways through which only one person can pass at a time. For wider doorways and open areas, overhead counters provide more accurate numbers.
Overhead systems count patrons in two ways: thermal sensors and video. Thermal sensors detect a person’s presence by their body heat. Video sensors count people on video footage. Both types have different advantages. Thermal sensors prioritize patron privacy, for example, while video sensors may provide increased accuracy.
No matter what patron counter system you choose for your library, Traf-Sys software can help you analyze the data you collect. You can use our software to generate reports and insights about your library as well as access your data in real time through any internet-connected computer or mobile device.
At Traf-Sys, our systems are 95 to 99 percent accurate, so you can use your data to make informed decisions with confidence.
