Bidirectional counting of entries with a time-of-flight sensor for calculating the conversion rate, passages between departments, CO2 and temperature in the sales area, call buttons in the fitting rooms. LoRaWAN radio transmission, data and notifications from the app.
What it does
- The people counter above the entrance counts entries and exits with a time-of-flight sensor: it tells apart people walking in side by side or in a group, with an accuracy of 99.8% declared by the manufacturer. It is not a camera and it does not recognise anyone.
- The entries per hour and per day, compared with the receipts from your till, give you the conversion rate: how many of those who come in make a purchase, and in which time slots.
- The two passage people counters on the openings between departments show how many of the visitors reach a given area: upper floor, department at the back, promotions area. Accuracy reaches 80%: it is a comparison figure, not an exact count.
- The sensor in the sales area measures CO2, temperature and humidity and shows them on the display: when the shop is full you can see when the air needs changing.
- The buttons in the fitting rooms send the call to the staff's phone or tablet; the button has a buzzer and an indicator light to confirm.
- History, charts by time slot, comparison between days and notifications can be consulted from a smartphone and from a PC.

Before you order
Is internet needed in the shop?
Yes, at the point where the gateway is installed: a free port on the router or the shop Wi-Fi. The sensors do not use Wi-Fi, they talk to the gateway over radio. If there is no line in the shop, or it belongs to the shopping centre and you cannot use it, 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 shop?
A store of up to about 400 m² on one floor, yes, with the gateway centrally positioned. Range inside a building depends on walls and floor slabs: for shops on several floors, with reinforced concrete slabs or detached storerooms, choose the «large building» variant, with a longer-range gateway. One gateway handles hundreds of devices.
Does the people counter film the customers?
No. The entrance people counter is a time-of-flight sensor: it measures distances, it is not a camera. The ones between departments are passive infrared. Only numbers leave the kit: entries, exits, passages.
I have a hinged door, or a glass door: does it work?
Yes, with two precautions. With a hinged leaf the sensor has to be kept at least 40 cm from the path of the leaf, or else the leaf stays open during opening hours. The manufacturer advises against mounting it right next to glass and mirrors: the sensor goes indoors, set back from the shop window, keeping 50 cm from the walls. The ceiling must be between 2.3 and 3.5 m; for greater heights there is a specific version, to be requested from the contacts section.
How do I get the conversion rate?
The kit provides the entries per hour and per day. The conversion rate is worked out by dividing the receipts by the entries: the receipts come from your till or from your management software, which are not included. The entries are read on the portal, or the gateway sends them straight to the management software.
I have two entrances, several floors or several shops
The kit is configured around the store: people counters, buttons and sensors are added, while the gateway and the platform stay the same. Among the product options you will find the 2-entrance size; for very wide entrances, several floors or a chain of shops write to us from the contacts section stating the floor area, the number and width of the entrances, the departments and the fitting rooms: we will send you the composition and the quotation for the adapted kit.
Battery life
The manufacturer states about 4 years for the passage people counters with 1,000 passages per day, from 3 to 4 and a half years for the CO2 sensor with one reading every 10 minutes, more than 7 years for the buttons with 10 presses per day. The batteries are lithium and can be replaced. The entrance people counter has 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 shop management software or sales analysis software is in place, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The people counters keep counting; the ones between departments keep the latest counts in memory. The calls from the fitting rooms do not reach the phone until the line comes back. If the power goes out, the entrance people counter and the gateway stop and start up again by themselves when it returns.
Is an electrician required?
Only if there is no socket on the ceiling near the entrance for the 12 V adapter of the people counter. Everything else is battery-powered and is fixed with anchors or double-sided tape; the gateway connects to the router like any other network device.
What is not included
- Till and management software: the receipts for calculating conversion come from your own systems
- The power socket on the ceiling for the entrance people counter
- The data SIM, in the version with a 4G gateway
- The USB-C 5 V power adapter for the gateway
- In the "devices only" version: Ethernet cables, bracket and small parts
