The Occupancy Trends feature provides 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 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. Users must be visible on both sides of the line for at least one second.
Enable Occupancy Trends
Return to the camera's main page and select the Analytics tab (displayed below the camera's live feed).
Click Add lines to open the wizard.
Click and drag the camera view to draw a line across the screen. You can draw multiple lines, though data from all lines are aggregated.
After you set up the lines for the camera's view, click Save.
View Occupancy Trend estimates
After enabling Occupancy Trends and establishing your line, you can view results by returning to the device's Analytics tab. This tab presents all the estimated In and Out counts for your selected period of time. You can hover your mouse over individual bars to see the numeric count for that period.
Select the time filter dropdown to increase the range of time covered by the Occupancy Trends graph, up to a maximum of 365 days.
Select the period of time filter dropdown to choose the period of time that each column in the graph represents.
Export Occupancy Trends results
You can export Occupancy Trends results as a .csv file.
Go to the Analytics tab.
At the top right, click Download
to automatically download your occupancy trends results.
