Real occupancy of desks and open-space zones, presence in the meeting rooms, free/occupied status of the restrooms and passages at the entrances. Anonymous detection, LoRaWAN radio transmission, data available via MQTT or HTTP for your booking system.
What it does
- The ceiling sensors over the open-space zones count the people present and show which desks or clusters are occupied: each sensor handles up to 16 areas drawn on the floor plan. Processing takes place on board and only numbers leave the device.
- In every meeting room a wall-mounted radar sensor detects the presence of people even when they are seated and still, up to about 4.8 m; up to 7.5 m for people who are moving. The data tells you whether the booked room is actually being used.
- The presence status is available via MQTT or HTTP: your booking system can use it to release rooms that are booked but not occupied.
- In the restrooms one sensor per cubicle reports free or occupied: the status can be shown on a monitor or in the app, and the occupancy history helps you schedule cleaning.
- The people counters at the entrances record passages in both directions, with accuracy up to 80%: this is footfall data by time slot and by day, not access control.
- History, charts by zone and by time slot and notifications can be consulted from a smartphone and from a PC: occupancy rates for pricing, shifts and reorganising your spaces.

Top-quality Milesight devices with the manufacturer's warranty. Batteries included in the room, restroom and entrance sensors; the ceiling sensors over the desks are mains-powered with the 5 V adapter supplied, the gateway via USB-C 5 V.
Available sizes
The size is selected at the top, together with the version and the connectivity. The diagram, the photo and the table above show the «About 40 desks, 6 rooms, 4 restrooms» size; with the other sizes only the quantities of the devices listed below change, the rest of the kit is identical.
- About 20 desks, 3 rooms, 2 restrooms: 2 desk occupancy sensors, 3 radar presence sensors, 2 restroom occupancy sensors
- About 40 desks, 6 rooms, 4 restrooms: 4 desk occupancy sensors, 6 radar presence sensors, 4 restroom occupancy sensors
- About 60 desks, 9 rooms, 6 restrooms: 6 desk occupancy sensors, 9 radar presence sensors, 6 restroom occupancy sensors
In the complete kit the installation material related to these devices (brackets, boxes, clips, cables, enclosures) follows the size chosen. For a different size, write to us from the contacts section.
Available connectivity options
- Customer network (Ethernet/Wi-Fi): 1 compact indoor LoRaWAN gateway

Before you order
Are people filmed?
No. The ceiling sensor over the desks processes everything on board: the manufacturer states that no image is collected and that detection is anonymous, with GDPR certification; during commissioning the view can be blurred and up to 8 areas can be masked. Rooms, restrooms and entrances use radar, infrared and distance measurement: they have no camera. Only counts and occupied/free states leave the system.
Is the office network needed?
It is needed at the point where the gateway is installed: a network socket or Wi-Fi. The sensors do not join your network, they talk to the gateway over radio. If you cannot connect equipment to the company network, the version with a 4G gateway is available, which requires a data SIM (not included, any operator, traffic below 1 GB per month). It is selected at the time of the order.
Does one gateway cover the whole floor?
On an office floor with lightweight partitions, yes, with the gateway centrally positioned. Range inside a building depends on walls and floor slabs: for several floors, thick reinforced concrete walls or several building blocks, choose the «large building» variant, with a longer-range gateway that can also be powered over PoE. One gateway handles hundreds of devices.
Does it integrate with our booking system?
The gateway sends the data via MQTT or HTTP: the configuration of this transmission is included. The rule that releases a booked and empty room is set in your booking system, if it accepts external data: check this with your supplier. The booking software is not included.
How many desks does one ceiling sensor cover?
It depends on the height: at 2.5 m the detected area is about 9.6 × 3.6 m, at 3 m about 12.3 × 5 m. Within the area up to 16 zones can be drawn, one per desk or per cluster. With 4 sensors about 40 desks are normally covered; with widely spaced desks or low ceilings more are needed.
I have more desks, more rooms or more floors
The kit is configured around your spaces: sensors are added per zone, per room and per cubicle, while the gateway and the platform stay the same. Among the product options you will find the sizes for about 20 and 60 desks; for different situations write to us from the contacts section with a floor plan or with the number of desks, rooms, restrooms and entrances: we will send you the composition and the quotation for the adapted kit.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The sensors keep on detecting. The people counters at the entrances keep the latest counts in memory; for desks, rooms and restrooms the status is up to date again as soon as the line comes back. During the outage the app and the booking system receive no data.
Battery life
The manufacturer states from 5 to more than 6 years for the room sensors, from 3 to 4 years for the restroom ones with about 90 uses per day, about 4 years for the people counters with 1,000 passages per day. The batteries are lithium and can be replaced. The sensors over the desks have no battery. The charge level is visible in the app.
Where is the data consulted and are there any fees?
On the manufacturer's app and portal, from a smartphone and a PC, with charts, thresholds and notifications; no fee for basic use. Where a booking system, a space management software or an ERP is in place, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
Is an electrician required?
Only if the sockets for the ceiling sensors over the desks are missing: each one needs a socket for its 5 V adapter, usually in the false ceiling. All the other sensors are battery-powered and are fixed with anchors, double-sided tape or an adhesive bracket.
What is not included
- The booking software and the screens to show the status of rooms and restrooms
- The power sockets in the false ceiling for the sensors over the desks
- The data SIM, in the version with a 4G gateway
- In the "devices only" version: Ethernet cable, USB-C power adapter for the gateway, brackets and small parts
