Compare people counting approaches
Different technologies fit different constraints. Here’s a practical comparison.
| Approach | Privacy | Deployment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signal-based (Ariadne) | High | Fast | Camera-free, scalable, great for multi-zone insights. |
| Camera-based | Varies | Medium | Can be accurate but raises privacy/compliance & infrastructure needs. |
| Infrared/beam | High | Fast | Good for simple entrances; limited for zones/journeys. |
| ToF/3D sensors | Medium/High | Medium | Often accurate in entrances; hardware placement constraints. |
Results depend on environment, installation, and calibration. Use a pilot to validate.
