Foot Traffic Counting

Camera Installation

Location

• The camera must be installed at least 15 cm away from the vehicle door.
• For the installation location, refer to the positions shown in the figure below, or install the camera on the roof as shown in the figure, provided that the ground level and the camera height are both approximately 2.1 meters.
• The dual-lens cameras of the dual-lens people counter should be installed as vertically as possible relative to the ground; the angle of inclination relative to the ground can be adjusted within 15°. The view should cover less than one-third of the exterior of the vehicle or focus entirely on the interior. (Loosen the Allen screw on the camera bracket to adjust the camera angle.)

Note

For optimal results, the installation height should ideally be between 2.1 and 2.2 meters. If the height is too high or too low, please provide the installation height so we can replace the camera with one of a different focal length.

Direction

• Camera orientation is pre-set at the factory: The label on the camera faces the interior of the vehicle.

Wiring Method

Connector Type	Connector/Pin Order	Wiring Instructions	Notes
Power Connector	DC 8-36V	Red wire: Constant power 8-36V Yellow wire: ACC ignition signal (connect to ignition switch) Black wire: GND ground	If ACC is not connected, you can connect the ACC wire in parallel with the red power wire
Video Input Interface	AV IN2	Connect front door camera	Must connect front door camera; use a video extension cable
Video Input Interface	AV IN4	Connect rear door camera	Must connect rear door camera; use a video extension cable
I/O Wires	SENSOR 1.2.3.4.5	I/O port configuration must match the actual connected signals	Detects door-opening signals only
Antenna Connectors	4G Antenna Connector	Connects to 4G antenna	Must be installed
Antenna Connectors	GPS Antenna Connector	Connects to GPS antenna	Must be installed
Other Interfaces	12V GND	Power output	Generally not connected
Communication Interfaces	RX/TX	RS-232 cable	Connect as needed based on device requirements
Communication Interfaces	485A/485B	RS-485 cable	Connect as needed based on device requirements

Device IO Configuration

• Models supporting foot traffic counting algorithms: MC908, MC904, MC912
• The host version must be one that supports foot traffic counting
• Select the channel where the connected camera is located for the foot traffic counting algorithm

• In IO Alarms, configure the actual trigger events for each connected IO sensor; no fixed configuration is required

Software Configuration

Software installation package for foot traffic counting

1. Connect to the device’s Wi-Fi; the default password is 88888888.

2. Connect the software to the device: The device’s default IP is 192.168.10.202. Click connect.

   

3. Explanation of Main Software Parameters

   Parameters Related to Foot Traffic Statistics

   Parameter	Description
   Set Time	Can be modified
   Update Camera Param	Modify camera parameters; must be set to match the number on the camera label

4. Adjust the camera angle: Ensure that the view shows less than one-third of the area outside the vehicle or focuses entirely on the interior.

   

5. Save background information (Refresh Image)

   1. It takes 2 seconds to learn the background; a success message will appear on the client.
   2. Save the background image for each channel separately.
   3. Save the background image when the door is open, ensuring there are no moving objects and the camera is not obstructed, to guarantee accuracy.
   4. Confirm that the image changes from gray to completely black after the background is saved.

6. Door opening/closing parameter settings: Click Parameter Set to adjust the calibration lines based on the installation configuration.

   • Only the rectangular area defined by the four lines is considered the valid detection zone. People entering from the light blue line and crossing the yellow line are identified as boarding; those entering from the yellow line and crossing the light blue line are identified as alighting. People entering or exiting to the left of the dark blue line or to the right of the green line are considered invalid and will not be counted in the boarding/alighting statistics.

   

7. You can view boarding and alighting counts in the marked area
