SensMax D3 TS Real-Time Wireless People Counting Sensor

SensMax D3 TS is a real-time wireless bidirectional people counting sensor for doorways and passage points. It records separate IN and OUT counts and delivers real-time occupancy monitoring through a SensMax gateway to dashboards and alerts. The device is battery-powered and installs without cabling, making it suitable for people counting in washrooms and toilets, retail, offices and public buildings.

People Counting Technology

The SensMax D3 TS uses multi-beam infrared people counting technology. Three synchronized IR beams detect crossing patterns and determine direction of movement for separate IN and OUT counts.

How It Works

The D3 TS uses a triple-beam infrared arrangement to detect crossings at an entrance and determine direction. Each event is identified as an entry or exit and transmitted wirelessly in real-time to a SensMax gateway. The gateway forwards the data to SensMax Cloud, a local server, or third-party dashboards. This real-time data supports occupancy views and alerts for visitor flow monitoring.

Installation

SensMax D3 TS is installed at a doorway or passage using two sensor modules placed on opposite side walls of the opening. The setup does not require cabling or external power wiring.

• Mount both sensor modules on the left and right side walls using tape or brackets
• Position the units facing each other across the walking path
• Align the infrared beam line at the required height
• Insert standard AA batteries
• Register the sensor in the SMX gateway for real-time data delivery

After pairing with the gateway, the sensor starts recording crossings and sending data in real-time according to the configured reporting mode.

Privacy and data protection

The D3 TS performs anonymous people counting using infrared beams. It does not use cameras and does not record images or video. No personal identifiers are collected, which makes the solution suitable for GDPR-compliant people counting in public and private buildings.

Business Impact

Real-time visibility enables immediate action instead of waiting for delayed reports. With D3 TS counters, managers can see current occupancy and react to bottlenecks as they form. The system supports operational decisions such as staffing, queue management, cleaning schedules and capacity control in real-time. Because the counters are wireless and quick to deploy, they can be rolled out across multiple entrances without cabling work.

Example in Action

During a special promotion, a shopping mall used D3 TS counters to monitor real-time occupancy across several entrances. The real-time data showed where congestion was forming, allowing security teams to redirect visitors to less crowded doors. Cleaning crews were also dispatched to busy areas such as food courts and washrooms based on real-time traffic patterns. This improved safety and operational response during peak hours.

Model Variants & Ranges

• D3 TS LR — communication range 150–250 m (868 MHz).
• D3 TS SLR — communication range 800–1000 m (868 MHz).
