Implementing Smart Count video analytics

Facit video analytics solutions work on existing camera infrastructure and do not require installation of new hardware

Works with any existing IP Camera
Onboard Axis Cameras as ACAP P3268/P3265

  • Embedded GPU: Jetson NX, up to 8 channels

  • Discrete GPU: NVIDIA T1000, up to 24 channels

  • AXIS cameras (ACAP): P3268/P3265

  • Extracts analytics data that can be transferred to existing BI solutions

  • Notifications sent to your VMS or other hardware.

Facit video analytics solutions do not track any personal data and are fully compliant with privacy regulations.

For accurate counting, use the matrix below:

  • Camera height 3m -> distance from the continuing area 3m

  • Camera height 4m -> distance from the continuing area 4m

  • Camera height 5m -> distance from the continuing area 5m

We use Facit because we know we can rely on the system. It’s cost-effective, and I don't know another company that can count people with a camera from an angle at this level of accuracy.

People counting software FAQs

Our people counting software has been optimised to run on legacy CCTV infrastructure, such as security surveillance equipment. It is a cost-effective solution and is installed remotely. Facit does not need to visit every site and will not disrupt operations. Once the software has been tested and optimised, it can be quickly deployed to multiple locations, and Facit will ensure smooth operations with ongoing maintenance.

To find out more about how our solutions work with AXIS cameras, visit our AXIS partnership page.

Our experts have developed a cutting-edge AI based solution that performs at an accuracy of over 95% in high footfall areas.

The software counts the number of people moving across entrances and exits. This could be to analyse footfall trends or monitor occupancy restrictions in a variety of environments. This can be used for counting people in and out of a store or building floor for better staffing, restocking and maintenance decisions.

The software includes an easy-to-use dashboard which provides live and historical data, with built in and bespoke reporting.

Facit’s people counting software can be installed across multiple locations, and includes a site comparison report which compares footfall data and visitor makeup across locations for specific time periods.

  • Analyse visitors’ behaviour to increase sales and attract more traffic

  • Reports including live occupancy dashboards, behavioural patterns, gender, site comparison and lost opportunities

  • Custom notifications to manage occupancy or flow

  • Detect and analyse footfall trends across multiple entry points and locations

  • Easy installation and setup with flexible settings

  • Add on features including trolley analytics and gender detection

Location, height and field of view of the camera may influence the accuracy, however our team of experts has worked on dozens of projects for locations with various camera setups and layout limitations.

We’ll help you deploy your video analytics solution without any additional hardware or disruptions to your operations, and trial the set up before we deploy across all your sites.

The primary purpose of people counting software is to enhance operations, and ultimately your bottom line, by analysing people’s behaviour.

By gathering and analysing large amounts of data, a business can make changes such as optimise staffing levels and adapt product displays, to increase sales and improve customer experience.

Counting software provides behavioural data. Understand the type of visitors on your premises, how they move around your location and their gender to enhance your site and increase conversion.
