About this deal

Bidirectional counters offer the most accurate option because they are able to differentiate between arriving and departing visitors. They do a better job than unidirectional counters in providing real-time occupancy information and an accurate count of the customers who visit your business in a given time frame. The 10- and 30-second delay is typically used to help count ‘buying parties.’ For example, if a husband and wife or a family enter an establishment, they will usually hold the door open for each other. Therefore, the count is only incremented by a factor of one if everyone enters on the same door swing. However, in the event that one of the individuals in the family comes into the establishment a few seconds later than the others, the system will not count this person if he or she enters within the delay period. Alternatives to the EPC-MAG1:

The term, “wireless” typically refers to wireless communication. However, it’s been our experience that when people typically refer to “wireless people counter” or “wireless door counters,” they don’t necessarily want a system that transmits data to a PC, the Cloud/Web, or a network. Instead, what they are really referring to is a door counter that does not have to be plugged into an A/C outlet or have any other wires that connect to a third-party device; hence, the term, “wireless.” Depending on the size of your library, you may benefit from having people counters distributed throughout your facility. For example, you might want to install people counters in the children’s reading section, the audio book area, or other spaces that experience high traffic. This will help you to determine when the highest volume of patrons visit these areas and schedule your library staff as needed. There is also a user-selectable delay of zero, two, 10, or 30 seconds. If this delay is being used, the system will not count any additional door swings until this delay has expired. For larger entrances where multiple people can come and go at once, however, a horizontal door counter would provide an inaccurate traffic count, as two people entering and interrupting the sensor beam simultaneously would likely only be counted as one. For these wider doorways, a library door counter that’s mounted overhead would be a better option. Network connections. Our wired digital sensors require a network connection to work properly, as well as an outlet near the door. If you do not meet the technical requirements, you should choose a wireless option instead.

The type of doorway will influence the kind of people counter that best fits your needs. For narrow entrances, a door-mounted horizontal door counter will suffice. The horizontal door counter is the simplest of all people-counting systems. It functions by tallying every person who interrupts the infrared sensor beam by walking through the doorway. Generally speaking, only one person at a time can enter through a narrow, standard-size doorway, making the horizontal library door counter a suitable choice. The EPC-MAG1 Magnetic Door Counter will only work with entrances that have doors that swing/slide open and closed. Therefore, if you have an entrance that has no door, such as those found in mall environments, then the EPC-MAG1 will not suit your needs. Further, if you have an entrance where a door is propped open all day, then the EPC-MAG1 will not suit your needs. In these situations, it is best to use one of our electronic door counters with infrared beams. Documentation: If your establishment doesn’t have many unrelated parties entering on the same door swing, then this device may suit your needs. For example, the EPC-MAG1 Door Counter would work well in a small gift shop. Further, the device may work well in environments such as furniture stores. Many times furniture stores do not typically have many unrelated customers entering on the same door swing. A husband and wife or an entire family are known in the retail industry as a ‘buying party.’ Most of the time, a manager or owner will want to count a buying party once, and not count each member of the buying party. Since a husband and wife or a family will usually enter on the same door swing, then the EPC-MAG1 might suit your needs. If they do, an overhead video people counting sensor is suggested because it can handle detection even when people are standing still. Do you have a 110V power outlet available at the entrance?

The type of door you have. If you have a sliding door, then a horizontal sensor will work for you. They do not work with swinging doors because the door itself may interfere with the electronic beams that count people as they enter or depart your business. Energy saving CoolSmart controller ensures excellent temperature control and easy-to-manage operation Store layout. Some stores have product displays that encourage browsing near the entrance. If that’s something you have in your business, then you may want to opt for an overhead sensor, which will be able to capture people even if they stop to browse near the door of your business.

Cost Price Promise

Libraries make books, resources, technology, and information available to everyone, including people who might not otherwise be able to afford access. But they are perpetually in need of funding to supplement the meager revenue they generate. College libraries, for example, receive less than 3% of the money spent on higher education, despite studies that link student achievement with having use of a well-staffed and well-funded library. By evaluating the data provided by your library door counters, you’ll be able to understand which areas of your library need more or fewer staff members to manage and monitor patrons as well as the best placement for promotional book displays and other important materials. How Software Can Help Your library door counter is only as useful as the software that compiles and makes sense of all the data it collects. This user-friendly software gives you access — virtually in real time — to your traffic data via any internet-connected computer or mobile device. Use your software platform to generate reports that offer critical insights about your library traffic that can influence and inform your decision-making.

If you need foot traffic counts in the per-hour range, consider using one of the bi-directional counters (which includes all of the overhead counters and the horizontal OmniCounter). Since the sensor captures ins and outs, your hourly traffic counting results will match up closer to the actual traffic trends throughout the day. Do people typically browse around in your entranceway?

This is why the EPC-MAG1 can be very useful in environments interested in counting buying parties, and not interested in counting individual people. Further, if the buying party enters on two-door swings, then the user-defined delay described above will allow the EPC-MAG1 to still only count the buying party once if you choose to enable this user-defined delay. When the EPC-MAG1 Door Counter might not best suit your needs: Justifying project funding is a nightmare: As a nonprofit, with little to no revenue generation, libraries exist at the mercy of the communities they serve. Proving that you’re a vital and well-used resource in the community boils down to a numbers game. Your circulation desk is frequently over or under staffed: People counters will allow you to pull reports and analyze traffic trends overtime. With determined traffic trends, you will be able to identify your busy and slow periods and schedule staff accordingly. The following questions are designed to help determine the best traffic counting solution based on the unique needs of your business: How is your entrance set up? Does it consist of swing doors or is it an open entrance?
