CrowdSense Radar-Based People Counting Sensor

Introducing the Latest Innovation in People Counting

CrowdSense proudly introduces its newest radar-based sensor, designed to provide robust tracking of moving objects in various environments. Operating in the mmWave range, this sensor is the most advanced technology available for accurate and reliable tracking in all conditions, including poor visibility and low light.

Versatile Applications

The CrowdSense radar-based sensor is a universal solution suitable for:

  1. Smart City projects
  2. IoT projects
  3. Security projects
  4. Indoor and outdoor people counting projects

This versatile sensor is ideal for use in various settings, from small and large rooms, lifts, meeting rooms, and toilets to narrow and wide entrances. It is highly effective for counting people at bus stops, train stations, on streets, and even at ski resorts.

15 Reasons to Choose the CrowdSense Radar-Based Sensor

  1. Tracking of Objects in 4D Space: Monitors moving objects in real-time across four dimensions: X, Y, Z, and SPEED.
  2. Real-Time People Counting: Counts moving objects in user-defined counting lines or zones, supporting up to 5 lines and 5 zones per sensor.
  3. Anonymous Counting: Collects anonymous data without using video cameras, ensuring 100% compliance with GDPR/privacy laws.
  4. Object Differentiation: Differentiates moving objects by speed; counts pedestrians and cyclists separately based on preset speed values.
  5. Wide Viewing Area: 120° viewing angle and 10-metre range, monitoring up to 100 square metres with a single sensor.
  6. Easy Installation: Mounts on walls at a height of 2-3 metres with various installation options.
  7. Easy Setup: Requires only a Wi-Fi connection and power; no additional equipment needed.
  8. Offline Functionality: Stores data on a built-in Micro SD card during network outages, sending data once the connection is re-established.
  9. Telegram Notifications: Integrates with the Telegram messenger API for notifications and reports directly to your phone.
  10. MQTT Protocol: Supports the open MQTT protocol, popular for IoT and DIY projects.
  11. IFTTT Webhooks Support: Sends webhooks when user-defined triggers are activated, compatible with IFTTT.
  12. Social Distance Monitoring: Measures the distance between people, notifying if social distance is violated.
  13. Intelligent Counting: Prevents multiple counts of the same object crossing the counting line repeatedly.
  14. Minimum Dwell Time Counting: Counts only visitors who spend a specified minimum time in an area.
  15. Trajectory Prediction: Predicts the object’s trajectory if it temporarily moves out of the sensor’s view.
