Enable Vehicle and People Counting

Enabling Vehicle and People counting is done through the enterprise license associated with a device.

Vehicle Counting

With Vehicle Counting enabled, you can get a graph trend for the Estimated Total Vehicles and compare it against other cameras. You can also deselect any cameras at the bottom in order to look at one camera at a time.

• You can adjust the desired time frame for viewing by using the hourly dropdown and calendar dropdown menus. 

• You can download the data points into a .csv file by clicking the download icon next to the time frame selection dropdown menus.

• The "Vehicle Count" column will be blank if there are no instances at the time. You will get the following information:

People Counting

People Counting is a report feature that can capture the number of people in a location at a given time period. To enable the "People Counting" feature, an enterprise license must be assigned to the device. Once assigned, you will need to ensure "People Counting" is toggled on.

"Facial Recognition" must also be toggled on to use the "Unique Visitors" metric.

Estimated Unique Visitors

Unique Visitor Counting relies on facial recognition being enabled to count the number of unique visitors a location might have in a given period of time. 

Unique Visitor Counting can be configured to display based on different lengths of time, such as 15 minutes, hours, days, or months. Hover over individual points in time to see the associated stats. 

• Facial Recognition Management
• Camera Positioning

Estimated Total Visitors

Estimated Total Visitors gives a count estimate for the number of people seen, regardless of facial recognition detection. This metric is useful in situations where there is a lot of foot traffic and identifying faces is difficult due to camera positioning (e.g., in front of a retail store, kiosk, or trade show).

Hover over individual points in time to see the associated stats. 

Note: This counting method uses human movement, not unique face capture, so the same person will be counted as multiple instances if they continue to walk back and forth in front of the camera.

Motion Events

When a camera captures any sort of motion, it will be logged as a Motion Event. These types of events are useful in situations where you want to track motion in areas where you do/don't expect it (e.g., Human Movement, Unidentified Face). 

Hover over individual points in time to see the associated stats. 

Alert Trends

• The Alert Trends graph shows you the number of instances in which various alert types are generated.

• You can set a specified timeframe to view these alerts by using the dropdown menus in the top right corner.

• You can also download the data as a .csv file by clicking the download button next to the timeframe menus.
