Facing the pandemic outbreak of coronavirus, many governments imposed social distancing
methods to reduce the risk of contraction. One method is to control the number of visitors inside
a building while allowing people to work or purchase the necessities. Using the 3D people
counting cameras at the entrance and exit of a facility, the current occupancy number can be
displayed at the store front.
You can configure an occupancy limit and display the message when the limit is reached.
Instead of having a secuirty personnel to count the number, the solution can help control the
customer traffic.
The solution enables the following:
•
Accurate counting of people entering or leaving a facility.
•
Displays the occupancy number on an HDMI monitor.
•
Business owners can transfer the solution into VIVOCloud Retail solution when social
distancing becomes unnecessary.
•
Notification to cell phone app via the VIVOCloud utility.
