DELIVERY KIT Depiction Element Name Quantity Description Footfall counters, one pair: block Т Counters 1 pair MEGACOUNT and block R Ethernet modem for Ethernet modem collecting footfall data Brackets for fixing L-brackets 1 pair the counters at the entrance АА 1.5 V batteries: 2...
HOW IT WORKS Operation of horizontal infrared OMEGA people counters is based on the principle of crossing two infrared beams and determining the direction of movement for both In and Out (bi-directional) The main counting elements are two blocks — block T and block R: when directed at each other, they create two beams between them.
BLUE Unidirectional counting BLUE + RED MEGACOUNT The main block R contains a beam-crossing analytics microprocessor and a radio-transmitting element. The microprocessor stores all events of beams crossing and transfers them to the ETH- modem via a radio channel with 2.4 MHz carrier frequency. Data that has not been transferred is stored on the counter for 14 days.
COUNTER CHARACTERISTICS • Protection from dust/water, IP 60 The device is intended to be installed inside where water cannot reach it. The sensor is inside a dust-proof casing with IP 60 protection: 6 – No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact 0 –...
STEP 1. CONNECTING THE ETHERNET MODEM Get power supply to the modem with a USB cable and connect it to the network with a patch-cord. Open the scanning program (VideoCountTool) and find the modem Double-click to open settings window Change to necessary settings DEFAULT SETTINGS: IP: 192.168.1.218 MASK: 255.255.255.0...

After accessing the web-interface, it is necessary to set the time TIME SETTING IS A REQUIRED STEP FOR THE OPERATION OF THE MODEM. THE TIME IS SET FROM SNTP TIME SERVERS IF THE NETWORK IS CLOSED, SET UP A SEPARATE TIME SERVER AND PUT ITS DETAILS IN THE SETTINGS TIME ZONE IS TO BE CHOSEN CORRECTLY, TIME IS TO BE IF THERE IS AN ERROR WHEN SETTING THE TIME, CHECK...
STEP 2. INSTALLING BATTERIES INTO THE COUNTERS Opening the casing Protective black screen TO OPEN THE CASING FOR INSTALLING OR CHANGING BATTERIES, HOLD THE CASING SO THAT THE PROTECTIVE BLACK SCREEN IS FACING UPWARDS AND SLIDE DOWN ONE HALF OF THE CASING AS SHOWN ON THE PICTURE Slide this down and open the casing Installing batteries in blocks R and T...
STEP 3. CONNECTING THE COUNTER TO THE ETH-MODEM Software preparations Open modem’s web-interface, go to the COUNTING tab and click the ADD button Then click the SEARCH button and at the same time press the SERVICE button on the R-block (see below) Preparing the R-block for connection to the ETH-modem Open the counter casing and press the button Service...

Connecting the counter and adding it to OMEGA-ETH program If all previous steps are done correctly, the program will show the found counter and will suggest to add it. Click the [Add] button Counter that is found and connected to the ETH-modem:...
STEP 4. SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE COUNTERS After the R-block is added to the program, it is necessary to configure the T-block by setting the correct distance between the blocks Open the casing of the T-block and set the distance on it by moving the correct switch to the right as shown on the pictures below Example for installation with a 2m distance Example for installation with a 3m distance...
STEP 5. MOUNTING THE COUNTERS TO THE SUFRFACE After the R-block is connected to the ETH-modem and the entrance width (distance between blocks) is set on the T-block, the counters can be mounted at the entrance with brackets or adhesive pads. Check detection after mounting Main recommendation when mounting counters (blocks) –...
STEP 6. COUNTER CONFIGURATION To configure the counter, double-click on the name of the counter or choose [Counter configuration] in the context menu [Name] Counter ID – for example, Left entrance, Main entrance, Right entrance, etc. [Counting mode] Bi-directional – sensor counts for both In and Out and the indicator lights up with blue or red depending on the direction.
STEP 7. DATA EXPORT When the counters are mounted and are counting, set up data export in the OMEGA-ETH interface [EXPORT], Add This will open the panel with server types for data export: 3 server types are available for data export: OMEGA CLOUD –...
STEP 7 7.1 SETTING UP OMEGA CLOUD ANALYTICS To connect to OMEGA analytics, open OMEGA-ETH interface and then tabs [ Menu – Data export – Create an export – OMEGA server type ] TO GET CONNECTED TO WEB-ANALYTICS, SEND A REQUEST TO info@megacount.io...
STEP 7 7.2 SETTING HTTP(S) DATA TRANSFER To set up data transfer to the server, open OMEGA-ETH interface and then tabs [ Menu – Data export – Create an export – HTTP(S) server type ] Data export format: [JSON] transferred data will be in JSON format...
STEP 7 7.3 SETTING FTP/sFTP-SSH DATA TRANSFER To set up data transfer to the server, open OMEGA-ETH interface and then tabs [ Menu – Data export – Create an export – FTP/sFTP-SSH server type ] Data export format: [JSON] transferred data will be in JSON format...
RECOMMENDATIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING Issue/Question Solution Check ETH-modem’s cable connection to the network, make sure that power supply cable is connected. The modem needs to be Scanning program cannot find the modem connected to a router-switch. Make sure that the scanning program is not blocked by anti-virus software Counter indicator does not blink when Change batteries.
