Capabilities - People Detection

People Detection is designed to turn the surveillance cameras you already have into occupancy sensors. It can count people, measure crowd density, follow movement paths across zones, and spot events such as falls or sudden gatherings. It is designed for retail floors, transit hubs and other busy sites, with privacy options and no special hardware.

How it works - People Detection in three steps

How People Detection works with the cameras you already run.

  • Connect Your Cameras. Use your cameras. No special cameras are needed.
  • Each Person Is Followed. ConductVision finds each person in view and follows their path through the scene.
  • Flag Events for Your Team. When a count passes a limit you set, or an event such as a fall or a long queue occurs, the system flags it for your team to review. Each event is logged with a snapshot.

Features

What People Detection can do.

  • Occupancy Counting. Counts people in and out at entrances and exits and keeps a running occupancy count through the day.
  • Crowd Density Mapping. Heat maps visualize crowd concentration across defined zones. Useful for capacity planning and congestion avoidance.
  • Movement Path Analysis. Tracks anonymized paths to show common routes, dwell times, and bottlenecks.
  • Fall Detection. Spots a person going from upright to the ground and flags the fall for your team to check.
  • Queue Length Estimation. Automatically detects and measures queues at service points, estimating wait times and flagging queues that pass a limit you set.
  • Zone-Based Dwell Time. Define regions of interest and measure how long individuals remain within them. Useful for retail engagement analysis and restricted-area monitoring.
  • Privacy-First Processing. Faces can be blurred, or people shown as simple figures instead of video. No biometric data is stored unless you choose to store it.

Use cases

Applications of People Detection across industries.

Retail Foot Traffic Analysis

Retailers often struggle to understand in-store customer flow. People Detection can map movement patterns across aisles and departments, providing data to optimize store layout and staffing schedules.

  • Retail

Transit Station Crowd Management

Transit authorities need to prevent dangerous overcrowding on platforms. Density mapping can flag platforms that approach capacity for staff to review.

  • Smart City
  • Transportation

Workplace Occupancy Compliance

Facilities managers must maintain occupancy limits in conference rooms and open offices. Automated counting can provide live dashboards and historical reporting without manual check-ins.

  • Corporate
  • Real Estate

Elder Care Fall Response

Falls in assisted-living facilities often go unnoticed for critical minutes. Fall detection can flag falls for on-duty staff to check.

  • Healthcare
  • Senior Living

Event Venue Capacity Management

Large venues need to monitor entry rates and zone densities during events. Bidirectional counting and density mapping can flag areas nearing their capacity limit for staff to review.

  • Events
  • Hospitality

Research Facility Access Monitoring

Laboratories require accurate records of who enters controlled areas and when. People Detection can provide timestamped entry/exit logs without requiring badge swipes at every threshold.

  • Research
  • Manufacturing
