Shopping malls, airports, event venues and other large sites rarely get by with one people counter. Wide entrances and buildings with several doors need multiple devices, and the figures only make sense if they come together in one place. Here is how to plan it with WELLPOINT People Counters.
Why Use Multiple People Counters?
- Wide entrances
One WELLPOINT People Counter covers a doorway up to about 2.4 m. Wider entrances use several devices, which WELLPOINT.cloud groups as one entrance, so you see one figure for that door. - Every entrance counted
Occupancy is entries minus exits. If visitors can leave through a side door without a counter, the figure drifts, so put a counter at every entrance visitors use. - Floors and halls through their entrances
The counter sees only its own doorway. To measure a floor or a hall separately, place counters at all of its entrances. - One account for everything
All devices and sites report to one WELLPOINT.cloud account, with hourly and daily reports and CSV export on PLUS and PRO. - Easy to extend
Each device needs only a 5 V USB power adapter near the door and uses built-in mobile data. Further counters are added from the dashboard. - Camera-free counting
GDPR-friendly by design: no camera, no images, no identification of people – only anonymous entry and exit counts. Full GDPR compliance also depends on the specific data-processing context.
Benefits for Your Team
- Complete counts for wide and multiple entrances
- Data updates every 5 minutes on PLUS and PRO, hourly on LITE
- One dashboard for all devices and sites
- Camera-free, anonymous counts only
What This Can Look Like in Practice
Imagine a shopping mall with a wide main entrance, two side doors and an entrance from the parking garage. The main entrance gets several devices grouped as one entrance, each other door gets its own counter, and the mall team sees totals per entrance and for the whole site. With these figures, the team could plan staffing and cleaning around the busiest hours.
Each WELLPOINT People Counter (Pulse V3) is mounted beside the entrance at 1.2 to 1.4 m and counts both directions with a time-of-flight sensor. Devices and plans are ordered on visitorcount.com.
