With the changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, various market segments in labor and commerce adapted their interactions with the public.
This is because an excessive number of people not only amplifies disease transmission but can also disrupt the user experience in the space.
Before COVID-19, tools for access control and people counting were already popular for enabling the collection of occupancy data and cross-referencing it with other pertinent data to generate a competitive advantage.
AXIS Occupancy Estimator
Fortunately for Axis product consumers, the manufacturer developed a solution that can be installed locally on their IP cameras, capable of accurately estimating occupancy data for the monitored space.
The Axis Occupancy Estimator tool prevents data transmission and storage overload by allowing local installation, and it also enables recording and availability of the stored data for up to 90 days.
The application provides these data in real-time and can be accessed via the standard web browser at the same address where the camera data can be retrieved.
Additionally, like all Axis solutions, the Axis Occupancy Estimator was developed to support open APIs for integration with other manufacturers and potentially other databases that can be cross-referenced.
As a result, through this application, it will be possible to cross-reference real-time occupancy data and generate reports that can display information on periods of high occupancy or free periods to assist managers in making better decisions.
There is a list of AXIS cameras where this application functions natively (assuming the camera has the updated firmware).
Mostly, the majority of cameras from the M30, M31, and M32 series work with the application, and some models from the P series and F series also integrate natively.
