People counting systems are normally fitted in buildings along passageways or at the door. They use very little wiring and minimal drilling. For some door counters systems, there is no need for drilling. A combination of the passageways and entrances equipment gives a more accurate data reading on the number of people entering a building. The counter system comprises three main elements:
-
Directional counting sensors – They are installed alongside an entrance or above the doors. They count the number of people passing under them and coming in their direction.
-
Data-logger – The data collected by the counting sensors is then received, stored and transferred by the data loggers. A stand-alone counter estimator has a miniature data logger.
-
Data collector – It is a hand held device used to transfer the data from the data logger and to upload new software or configuration.
Other data collection methods include;
-
-
FTP gateways which uses corporate network to send data to your head office
-
Manual data collection
-
Multiplexes are wireless and so they do not need cabling
-
Modems do not need human intervention to send data to the office
-
Radio modems are very flexible and offer a wide range of data collection strategies
