AXIS People Counter
Configure the application
Naive occupancy mode
If you select the naive occupancy mode, the application estimates the occupancy by counting “people coming in” minus “people
coming out”. This estimation is not as sophisticated as the smart occupancy mode, and the occupancy error accumulates over time.
The error will be larger if there is a high flow of people and if the counter is poorly configured.
The table shows recommended occupancy mode for different scenarios, based on traffic flow and average visiting time.
