[Michlib-l] People counters

Tue May 3 15:11:20 EDT 2016

We purchased the cheaper ones from them – Battery-Powered 900 MHZ people counter for $400.00 and  did manually counting too since the numbers were so high from before.  Found that the numbers are off quite a bit.  Not like double but we counted 83 it counted 113.  We counted delivers in and out and also staff in and out, etc.   They are very hard to open to replace the batteries too.

If you're willing to spend the money, SenSource sells overhead people counters that are very accurate and are even able to distinguish the difference between adults and children. They cost about $1,800 each and require hardwiring, but again, they are very accurate. Details here:  <http://www.sensourceinc.com/peoplecounters.htm> http://www.sensourceinc.com/peoplecounters.htm

Good afternoon!  If anybody is willing, we're currently looking to gather recommendations for people counters.  We're mostly concerned with getting an accurate count (people don't get counted twice, people walking side-by-side get accurately counted, etc) and having a simple way to retrieve and reset the data.  Thanks!
