How does it count?
- Person detection: each person in the camera view is detected individually by AI
- Tracking: each person is followed frame by frame, so the same person is never counted twice
- Virtual line: if the foot point crosses the line inward it is an entry, outward an exit
- Group: a family or group of friends arriving side by side is one visit
- Profile: female/male and young, adult or senior age group; no images are stored
For moments in a crowd when people pass in front of each other, detection runs at two scales, and counting accuracy is tuned with tracking association and motion prediction.
Cameras and installation
One IP camera that sees the door is enough for counting; cameras mounted overhead (top-down) or at an angle can be used. It works with HikVision and Dahua cameras. Branch cameras connect to a central server via VPN; counting is processed centrally.
The counting mode is configured separately for each camera: which door is the entrance, and the position and direction of the line are set from the dashboard.
After the count
Count data on its own is traffic; matched with POS data it becomes a conversion rate. For the sales side see retail conversion rate analysis, and for all features see the Visiqo retail store analytics software page.

Frequently asked questions
How does a store people counting system work?
AI detects and tracks each person in the feed of an IP camera that sees the door; crossing the virtual line drawn at the door inward is counted once as an entry, outward as an exit.
How is it different from an infrared door counter?
It counts people walking side by side separately, distinguishes entries from exits by direction, records a group as a single visit and derives a gender and age profile.
Which cameras does it work with?
Works with HikVision and Dahua IP cameras. Overhead (top-down) or angled mounting can be used.
Is personal data stored?
No. The system keeps the count and profile results, not images.
