Setting Up Detection Directions in People Counting Systems

Setting Up Detection Directions in People Counting Systems

Getting the most from your people counting system starts with a simple but crucial step: setting the correct detection direction. With Wellpoint People Counters, you can easily configure whether your device counts visitors moving left-to-right or right-to-left—ensuring every entry and exit is tracked accurately. Here’s how to do it, and why it matters. 🔄📊

 

Why Detection Direction Matters

People flow isn’t always the same at every entrance. Setting the right detection direction ensures your device knows which way is “in” and which is “out,” preventing double-counting and giving you true occupancy and flow data. This is especially important for entrances with heavy or bidirectional traffic, as well as for compliance and staffing optimization.

 

How to Set Detection Direction with Wellpoint

  1. Power up your Wellpoint People Counter and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

  2. Log in to the Wellpoint cloud dashboard at wellpoint.cloud.

  3. Add your device by entering its unique code and location details.

  4. Set detection direction:

    • Choose “left-to-right” or “right-to-left” based on your entrance’s main traffic flow.

    • Adjust maximum detection distance in millimeters for your specific space (convert if needed).

  5. Save your settings—your counter is now ready to deliver accurate, real-time analytics.

Tip: For wide entrances or complex layouts, install multiple counters and set each one’s direction and detection region to avoid overlap and double-counting.
