Occupancy trends provide organizations with an estimate of the foot traffic at critical locations within their facilities. These estimates can provide valuable insights for optimizing staffing, adjusting hours of operation, and or tracking the
performance of marketing and promotional activities.
This feature is only available on the CB52, CB62, CM42, CM42-S, CD32, CD42, CD52, CD62, and CD63 models.
Installation guidelines
For best performance, we recommend these installation guidelines during the installation of a camera where Occupancy Trends will be enabled:
Choose a one-directional path. Occupancy Trends works best in locations such as doors and hallways.
Install the camera 8–12 ft (2.4–3.7m) away from the digital line.
Position cameras no more than 40–60˚ vertically from the location of the digital line.
Minimize occlusions and constructions between the camera and the line.
Ensure good illumination and visibility on both sides of the line. Individuals must be visible on both sides of the line for at least one second.
