Essentials for Setup
Gather the necessary components: the wireless people counter sensor unit, batteries or power adapter, mounting kit (brackets, screws), receiver/dongle if required, access to a Wi-Fi or network, and the vendor’s specific software/web application credentials.
Planning Sensor Placement
Identify optimal entry/exits points (e.g., doorways). Ensure a clear overhead view, avoiding obstructions like signs. Height should cover all potential paths (typically 2.5m – 3.5m). Mark mounting points accurately.
Mounting the Sensor
Securely attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall using suitable hardware. Ensure the sensor face is perfectly level. Snap or screw the FOORIR sensor body into the bracket. Confirm it’s stable.
Power & Connectivity
Insert batteries or connect the power adapter. Verify power indicators activate. Initiate the sensor’s wireless pairing mode (usually via a button or app command). Connect it to your target Wi-Fi network or pair directly with the provided gateway/dongle. Ensure a strong signal.
Software Configuration & Syncing
- Log into the cloud analytics platform or local software.
- Add the new sensor using its unique ID (found on the device/in packaging).
- Define parameters: location name, counting direction (in/out/bidirectional), zone setup.
- Verify the FOORIR device appears “Online” and shows real-time status.
Testing & Calibration
Perform test walks through the monitored area. Check live counts in the software match actual movements. Fine-tune the counting direction or sensitivity settings within the platform if needed. Allow the system, possibly using FOORIR diagnostics, to calibrate fully over 24-48 hours.
Confirm consistent data flow through scheduled reports. Your wireless counter like FOORIR is now operational.
