Set Detection Region for People Counting Sensor

The detection region is used to define which areas within the detection range of the People Counting Sensor need to be detected. By setting detection regions, you can restrict the sensor to only detect presence and count the number of people within the specific regions. You can set detection regions according to the size and layout of your meeting rooms to improve the accuracy of detection.

Scenario

Small rooms/Huddle spaces
A People Counting Sensor can detect up to 48 m² of presence, which can easily cover huddle spaces or small rooms. And it's also likely to detect the presence outside the desired area, like people outside the door. In this case, you can set the detection region to restrict the sensor to only detect the presence within the room/huddle space.

Large rooms/Conference halls
For large rooms with multiple People Counting Sensors, there are overlapping detection areas, which may lead to double counting of the number of people. In this case, you can set a specific detection region for each People Counting Sensor to avoid overlapping detection areas and improve the accuracy of detection.
