Comparison of various people counting technologies to SensMax TAC-B radar people and bike counting sensors.
1. Infrared Sensors
Infrared sensors are one of the most common people counting technologies used in various settings, from retail stores to museums and airports. These sensors work by detecting people crossings through an infrared beam. While infrared sensors are affordable and easy to install, they have some limitations. For example, they may struggle to count people in crowded or high-traffic areas accurately.
2. Camera-Based Systems
Camera-based people counting systems use video cameras to capture images of people as they enter and exit a space. These images are then analyzed using computer vision algorithms to count the number of people present. Camera-based systems offer the ability to capture additional data, such as demographics and behavior patterns. However, they can be expensive to install and maintain and may struggle in changing light environments and with non-contrast floors. There are also concerns about privacy and data security.
3. Wi-Fi Tracking
Wi-Fi tracking technology relies on detecting signals from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to track the movement of people within a space. By analyzing Wi-Fi signals, these systems can estimate the number of people present and their movement patterns. While Wi-Fi tracking offers real-time data and can be used to measure dwell time and repeat visits, it may not provide accurate counts in all situations, especially in areas with limited Wi-Fi coverage or where people opt-out of Wi-Fi tracking.
4. SensMax TAC-B Sensor
Now, let's take a closer look at the SensMax TAC-B people counting sensors. The TAC-B sensor uses high resolution radar technology operating in the mmWave range to detect moving objects with high precision. This technology ensures accurate people counting even in busy environments and various light and weather conditions. The TAC-B sensor can effectively monitor large areas such as train station or shopping mall entrances, walking trails in parks and city streets, with a wide range coverage of up to 100 square meters per sensor with opportunity to set up to 5 counting zones.
Benefits of Using SensMax TAC-B Sensor:
• Easy sidewall or pillar installation
• Accurate counting even in busy environments
• Wide range coverage up to 100 square meters per sensor
• Direction detection capability for analyzing traffic flow patterns
• Real-time data delivery
• Cost-effective and privacy-friendly solution compared to camera-based systems
Each people counting technology has its own strengths and weaknesses. The SensMax TAC-B sensor stands out as reliable indoor and outdoor people and bike counting solution for businesses and organizations looking to accurately monitor foot traffic and analyze customer behavior. With its advanced radar technology and user-friendly features, the TAC-B sensor offers a cost-effective and privacy-friendly alternative to traditional people counting methods.
