Tips for Mounting People Counters in High-Traffic Areas

Accurate visitor analytics start with proper installation. Whether you manage a busy retail entrance, mall, or public venue, following best practices for mounting your Wellpoint People Counter ensures you capture every visitor—no matter how crowded it gets. 📏🚶

 

Top Tips for Mounting in High-Traffic Areas

1. Choose the Right Height
Mount your Wellpoint People Counter at 1.2 to 1.4 meters (about 4 to 4.5 feet) above the floor. This height is ideal for detecting people walking through entrances or corridors, minimizing missed counts.

2. Position Perpendicular to Traffic Flow
Install the device so it faces directly across the path of movement, not at an angle. This setup ensures each person is counted once and reduces the risk of double-counting or missed entries.

3. Avoid Obstructions
Keep the area in front of the sensor clear of displays, doors, or signage. Obstructions can block the sensor’s view and impact data accuracy.

4. Use Multiple Counters for Wide Entrances
For entrances wider than 1.5 meters (5 feet), use two or more counters to cover the full width. Overlapping coverage ensures no visitor is missed during busy periods.

5. Ensure Reliable Power and Wi-Fi
Stable power and strong Wi-Fi connectivity are essential for real-time data transfer. Place your device within range of your wireless network and check signal strength during setup.

6. Regularly Check Device Alignment
High-traffic areas can be busy and chaotic. Periodically verify that your counter hasn’t shifted or been blocked by new displays or fixtures.
