Real-Time Privacy-Safe People Counting and Occupancy Monitoring for Shopping Malls
SensMax TAC-B 3D-W mmWave radar sensors provide real-time people counting and shopping mall occupancy monitoring without cameras. The system measures how many visitors enter through each entrance, tracks movement dynamics during the day and delivers live occupancy data for mall management teams.
Unlike camera-based analytics, TAC-B uses privacy-safe radar technology that detects movement anonymously. It is ideal for shopping malls and public facilities where accurate counting is required but video recording is not acceptable. One sensor can cover wide passages up to 10 meters, reducing hardware costs while keeping high counting accuracy.

Key Benefits of mmWave Radar People Counting
TAC-B uses 60 GHz mmWave radar technology to deliver accurate real-time footfall data while staying fully anonymous. The sensor works reliably in changing light conditions and does not depend on cameras or image processing.
- Privacy-safe people counting – no cameras, no image capture, anonymous detection only.
- Wide entrance coverage – monitor passages up to ~10 m wide with one sensor.
- Real-time occupancy monitoring – instant data for live dashboards and operational decisions.
- Flexible installation – sidewall, column or ceiling mounting for complex mall layouts.
- Directional analytics – virtual counting lines for IN and OUT flow tracking.
- API and MQTT integration – real-time data export to external systems.
Typical Installation in Shopping Malls
- Main entrances – track total visitor arrivals and traffic peaks.
- Large open entrances – ideal for wide passages where infrared sensors are not suitable.
- Floor transitions – monitor movement between levels and key corridors.
- Public zones – analyze traffic distribution and occupancy trends.

How the TAC-B Solution Works
TAC-B 3D-W sensors are typically installed at ~3 m height with a slight downward angle. The radar module detects movement, classifies direction and delivers real-time people counting data. If internet connectivity is temporarily unavailable, statistics are stored on an internal SD card and synchronized automatically later.
Virtual counting lines allow accurate IN/OUT flow tracking across wide entrances.
Reporting and Occupancy Analytics
The SensMax reporting platform provides real-time dashboards and historical analytics showing hourly trends, entrance performance and occupancy changes. Mall management teams can evaluate traffic peaks, compare entrances and optimize operations based on real visitor data.
Business Impact
Real-time privacy-safe people counting helps shopping malls optimize staffing, cleaning schedules and operational planning while maintaining visitor comfort. Historical traffic analytics support marketing evaluation, tenant performance analysis and long-term facility planning. Occupancy-based HVAC control also helps reduce energy consumption.
