Camera and mounting
- Camera: an IP camera that sees the door and the area in front of it; an existing security camera can be used
- Brand: HikVision and Dahua
- Mounting: vertical on the ceiling or angled; people's foot points and bodies must stay in frame
- Framing: a few steps of each person should be visible on both sides of the counting line; direction and tracking rely on this
Where is the footage processed?
Branch cameras connect to a central server over VPN; person detection, tracking and counting happen centrally, and results are written to the dashboard and reports. This means no computer or extra device is needed at the branch. An on-site processing option per branch is in development.
AI person detection is YOLO-based; for moments in crowds when people pass in front of each other, two-scale detection and motion-predictive tracking are used. Footage is not stored; only counts and profile results are kept.
Installation steps
- Camera list: decide which camera will count for each branch and door
- Connection: cameras are added to the central server over VPN
- Counting line: the line position and entry direction are drawn from the dashboard for each camera
- Validation: in the first days, counts are compared with manual counts and tuned
- POS link: POS data is added for conversion rate

Frequently asked questions
How does AI camera people counting work?
AI detects people in the camera footage and tracks them frame by frame; a person crossing the virtual line drawn at the door is counted once as an entry or exit depending on direction.
Do I need to buy a separate people counting device?
No. The existing IP camera that sees the door is used; processing is done on the central server.
How should the camera be mounted?
Vertical ceiling or angled mounting can be used; a few steps of each person and their foot point must stay in frame on both sides of the counting line.
Which camera brands does it work with?
Works with HikVision and Dahua IP cameras.
