Answer
People counting (also called footfall counting) is the measurement of how many people pass a defined point — typically an entrance — over time. Sensors detect each person crossing a counting line and record it as an entry or an exit.
Key points in Vemcount:
Entries and exits are counted separately. Footfall usually refers to entries (visitors coming in).
Sources matter. A Location combines all entrances; an Entrance shows one door; a Zone counts an internal area. Choose the source that matches your question.
Live Inside is derived from entries minus exits, giving a real-time occupancy figure.
Data can be viewed at 15-min, 30-min, hourly or daily intervals, summed or averaged.
Footfall is the foundation for most other metrics — conversion, capture rate, dwell, and occupancy all build on an accurate count.
