Using People Counting
People Counting is a great tool to use to keep track and provide insight into the number of people entering or
exiting a certain area. For more information on how to use People Counting refer to the information below:
1. Open the
Smart Plan
menu and activate the People Counting plan. Click
Save
.
Note:
People Counting cannot be used in conjunction with IVS or Heat Map plans.
2. Open the
People Counting
menu and verify the
Enable
checkbox is marked. This option enables the feature and
should be enabled by default.
3. Click on the
Setup
button to set a schedule. A schedule is needed to activate the feature and must be saved to
proceed. A default or modified schedule can be applied. Click
Save
.
4. Use the
Name
option to provide a custom name for your detection line. The detection line can be set to default
(NumberStat1) if necessary.
5. Use the
Direction
dropdown menu to choose which direction the feature will be triggered if a person enters,
exits, or enters & exits the set line. “A
-
>B” represents if a person enters or exits from the right, “B
-
>A” represents
of a person enters or exits from the left.
6. Use the
Flowrate alarm
area of the screen to modify how many people it will take for the alarm to trigger if a
person enters or exits an area. It is highly recommended to leave this field as default (0) for best results.

cover more ground.

to save the detection area.

enters or exits will be detected by the camera. The detection line name can be modified in the Name field located
in the People Counting menu. The “Enters” and “Exits” overlay represents the number of people the camera has
detected that have entered or exited the detection area.
