What Footfall Count needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.

Prerequisites

  • Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP, overhead at entry and exit doors for accurate in/out counting
  • Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for low-light entrances
  • Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
  • Overhead/door mounting to minimise occlusion and double-counting
  • Stable power and network at the deployment point

Operating Limits
