Applications
Count people, vehicles and other objects that pass through the camera’s field of view. Common applications include building/room/garage entrances and exits.

Lighting
Uniform lighting across the line is ideal. Harsh backlighting (bright conditions) and changes in lighting may lead to inaccurate counting.

Cameras
Object counting works with both analog and IP cameras at any resolution. Dynamic gain compensation should be set to the lowest level. Use wide dynamic range cameras for outdoor lighting situations.

Mounting
Cameras should be mounted as close to straight overhead as possible.

Camera Field of View (FOV)

• Ideal FOV is between 10 and 40 feet
• Position cameras so that persons or objects travel in a straight path across counting lines.
• Counting lines should not be set up on the outside edge of FOV
• Lines obstructed by continuously moving objects (e.g. door, escalator, etc.), where people/objects cluster or where traffic flow comes to a stop, will lower counting accuracy.
