Occupancy & People Counting
For additional insights, General Security is now offering access to Alarm.com Business Activity Analytics for strategic monitoring and management practices.
A virtual tripwire at building entrances captures total occupancy via multi-directional counting. As this technology calculates how many people cross this invisible line, you’ll receive immediate alerts about exceeding capacity levels.
Heat Mapping
Invisible ground zones track location and time duration of customers, employees, guests, and others. Time lapsed or single image heat maps examine average spot movements for marketing insights and other consumer information.
Crowd Gathering
Virtual ground zones count the amount of people in a specific area. This can also track unwanted loitering by both customers and employees. Immediate mobile device alerts will appear for overcapacity situations.
Queue Monitoring
This virtual zone manages average customer wait time. Notifications appear if the queue length is too lengthy or exceeds pre-set durations.
