Why should I buy a camera people counting system?

Because beam sensors cannot count people going side by side, or in groups. They can only count by 50%-60% accuracy in crowded situations or weekends. So beam sensor systems are the wrong products to buy. V-Count counts with 90-95% accuracy even in crowded situations. We have won lots of clients by proving their beam sensor system does not work well by doing a demo with V-Count right by side with their counting system. In all of our demos, we and our customers analysed hours and days of data and found that V-Count counts much more superior to the beam sensor, in all crowded situations.

Why should I buy an embedded camera people counting system like V-Count but not a PC software + IP camera based system?

If people counting software is run on a client pc and IP cameras are used, system has one more point of failure. There can always be situations that remote softwares can not connect to IP cameras. This PC in stores could be shared by cashiers. These PC will be accessible by store personnel or cleaners. And bandwidth is also another drawback of these systems. If due to a bandwidth drop IP cameras can not stream fast enough, counting stops. So in general these kinds of systems ( IP camera + software on PC ) contain one more point of failure and resulting in system down times. Embedded systems have processor + camera+ embedded software all built in a box, so they don’t have the above risks.
