Occupancy Insights with Any Camera for Safe, Profitable Operations
Get real-time occupancy data and alerts
Knowing how many people are in a given area at any time helps organizations operate safely and gain valuable customer insights. With Camio Occupancy Counting and Dwell Time solutions, businesses and educational institutions can monitor occupancy levels to mitigate workplace health risks and improve security, merchandising and staffing decisions—easily and economically using existing cameras.
Camio supports two people-counting methods: Virtual Turnstiles for precise in/out flow counts and Occupancy Sampling for cost-effective periodic crowd counts. Both methods deliver real-time occupancy counts and notifications that help manage everything from max occupancy limits to retail selling strategies. The same technology can be applied to counting all objects, including vehicles.
Real-time search and alerts empower decision-making
Any search query (e.g. “over 12 people in lounge”) can be turned into an alert with a single click. Whenever too many people are congregating in an area, alerts are sent automatically to authorized personnel and can be viewed from any browser on any device.
Real-time and periodic occupancy counting enables smart security and management decisions. Property management Security Operations Centers (SOCs) dispatch security guards when a courtyard has more than 50 people or when an onsite gym surpasses capacity thresholds. A retailer sends automated emails notifying backroom staff when a line has more than five people. Management teams even use Camio Occupancy Counting to schedule cleaning and maintenance services at times that are least disruptive to space usage.
Occupancy Sampling eliminates price barrier
Camio Occupancy Sampling delivers the highest ROI through variable-rate, query-based sampling using the standard field of view of existing cameras — all without specialized sensors or overhead mountings. Counting operations are initiated by simple-language searches like “people west campus courtyards every 5 minutes.”
Virtual Turnstiles deliver precise counts
Virtual Turnstiles provide precise inbound and outbound flow counts and inter-event tracking without storing PII (Personally Identifiable Information) or biometric data. Events are uploaded to the cloud in real time and are available for indexed search within an average of 14 seconds from the time of the event’s occurring.
Dwell Times Reveal Patterns and Unusual Activity
In addition to occupancy counting, Camio automatically calculates dwell time by tracking the time an individual enters and exits a particular zone. Understanding the time people spend in specific areas of retail environments informs merchandising and marketing planning. And unusual dwell times can highlight activity that may present a security risk. An alert can be activated when someone loiters too long in an area prompting proactive investigation.
Actionable insights from real-time data
No matter which occupancy counting method is used, interactive dashboards identify trends and compare data to prior periods. Camio also enables custom reporting that can be grouped and summarized by any dimension, including time of day, geography, zone, or arbitrary tags. Trendline reports are especially useful to measure rates of change. Data is stored in Google BigQuery for universal access and integration using standard SQL.
AI for good
In the world of AI, everything is possible but fewer things are practical or affordable. Camio occupancy insights illustrate how connecting standard cameras to the latest AI advances running on best-of-breed IT infrastructure enables computers to analyze what’s happening in real time for better health and safety. Camio gives cameras the power to see and understand what’s important at affordable, usage-based prices.
