Low-Cost People Counter for One or Two Doorways
Video Tally is a new, low-cost, option for monitoring one or two entrances or exits.
Biodata are pleased to announce a new, low-cost, people counting system. Called Video Tally, the new system uses CCTV cameras and intelligent units to count people. The counts are collected on the PC every 5 seconds using Windows Software.
Video Tally is designed for businesses which want to monitor people coming through just one or two doorways. The compact Video Tally unit connects to a CCTV camera above a doorway. It determines when people are passing through the doorway and increments its people count. Every five seconds Video Tally gives its count to the Windows data collection software running on a PC. The count is stored in a text file which can be analysed in the software of your choice, Microsoft Excel for example.
Video Tally has many of the features of the larger Video Turnstile systems. For instance, you can individually configure each unit through software, adjusting for things like:
- shadows,
- the height of the camera above the floor,
- whether crowds are expected,
- people turning sharply left or right after entering,
- whether children should be counted,
- lighting conditions,
- different situations such as counting people getting off escalators.
You can see live, updating counts on your PC and view an historical record of logged data.
Video Tally measures just 140 x 65 x 27 mm and weighs 150 g.
