AI Real-time Headcount

Counts the people on site automatically with cameras and keeps a record.

The AI captures the camera view at set intervals and counts how many people are there. It shows not access records but how many people are actually in that area right now.

Access cards count the people who came in, but they do not tell you which area those people are in now. This solution fills that gap.

Dashboard

The first screen shows:

  • Total headcount trend: How the number of people changed over time
  • Average headcount by date and by hour
  • Headcount detection details: Detection time, camera, and number of people detected, 20 entries at a time

Click a detection image to open a large original photo with a box drawn around each person. You can see with your own eyes how many people were counted and whether the count is right.

Checking whether detection is running

The screen shows the Current detection settings. The detection interval appears as "30 sec", "5 min", or "1 hour", and outside the detection hours it tells you "Not in detection hours now".

If the values do not seem to update, check this notice first. It may not be a fault; it may simply be outside the detection hours.

Click Load latest data to fetch the current values again.

Settings

The Settings button is visible only to the project owner and the owner company.

Choosing the detection interval

Shorter intervals are more detailed but produce more data. Decide based on what you want to know.

PurposeRecommended interval
Understanding the daily flow of people30 min to 1 hour

The sheet contains:

  • Total headcount, and average, maximum, and minimum headcount
  • Total detections and average detections
  • A table with dates and hours on its two axes

Use it for monthly workforce reports or reviewing workforce plans by process.

How to use it

  • Checking headcount by work hour: Whether people crowd in the morning or the afternoon
  • Planned vs. actual headcount: Whether the planned workforce actually showed up
  • Managing headcount in hazardous work areas: Whether more people than needed are in that area

Frequently asked questions

Can it tell who is there? No. It only counts how many. It does not identify people.

The detected headcount differs from reality People standing close together or hidden from view can be missed. Open the detection image and look at where the boxes are drawn to guess the cause. Adjusting the camera angle often helps.
