People Counting

How many people actually came through today isn’t a question you should have to guess at. Collie counts every entry and exit through a defined zone — a doorway, a gate, a corridor — turning foot traffic into a number you can plan around.

Traffic you can't measure is traffic you can't plan for

How many people pass through a space shapes everything from staffing to safety limits — but only if someone’s actually counting.

No real number to plan around

Without an accurate count, staffing, layout, and capacity decisions end up based on impressions rather than data.

Manual clickers don't scale

A person tallying visitors by hand is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to run continuously across multiple entrances.

Occupancy limits go untracked

Without a live count, there’s no way to know a room or venue is approaching its safe capacity until it’s already too full.

From a doorway to a traffic report

Entry & exit counting

Every person crossing a defined line is counted going in and coming out, giving an accurate running total.

Room capacity & occupancy

Set a capacity limit for a room or venue, and get an alert as it approaches or crosses that number.

Traffic & footfall analytics

See how foot traffic trends by hour, day, or season — the pattern data behind staffing and layout decisions.

Works with existing cameras

Runs on cameras already installed at an entrance — no need to replace hardware just to start counting.

How it flows

Count. Aggregate. Report.

01

Count

A defined line or zone on the camera view registers every person crossing it, in either direction.

02

Aggregate

Counts roll up into a live occupancy figure and a running total for the day, week, or month.

03

Report

Traffic trends and capacity data are ready to export or review whenever a planning decision needs them.

Flow, not density

People Counting tracks how many people pass a point over time — a running total for traffic and occupancy. Crowd Detection answers a different question: how packed a specific area is right now. Many sites run both — counting to manage overall numbers, density detection to catch a dangerous crush in a specific corner.

Counting where there's no fixed doorway

Temporary events, open plazas, and construction sites don’t always have a fixed entrance to mount a camera on. A Collie robot can run the same counting logic from a patrol route, giving a traffic figure for spaces that change layout often.

People Counting

Where it’s deployed

Anywhere foot traffic tells a story

Retail

Footfall counts tied to conversion and staffing decisions across store entrances.

Transit & Airports

Passenger flow through gates, platforms, and concourses during peak periods.

Offices

Occupancy tracking for meeting rooms and shared spaces against booked capacity.

Events

Real-time attendance figures and capacity limits for venues and event halls.
