Want a reliable way to measure foot traffic at your business? This Avalonix Premium Series 5MP turret camera includes people counting analytics that track enters and exits as customers pass through a rule you draw on the scene. It is a practical fit for convenience stores, laundromats, offices, and similar locations where knowing traffic patterns helps with staffing, scheduling, and verifying peak hours.
Unlike basic motion counts, people counting is designed to measure how many people cross a defined entry path, then store that data so you can pull reports by day, month, or year.
How People Counting Works
In our demo, setup is done directly in the camera menu. The key requirement is having a microSD card installed so the camera can store data and generate reports.
Insert a microSD card in the camera.
Go to Settings, then Event, then People Counting.
Draw your counting rule on the scene and set the parameters.
As people walk through, the camera updates enter and exit counts on screen.
Go to Report and search by date range to pull daily, monthly, or yearly totals.
Watch it in action: People Counting Demo (Wall or Side Mount)
This short demo shows the rule setup path, live enter and exit counts updating on the video, and how to pull reports by date. It also demonstrates the camera staying focused on the foreground counting area, even with distracting background objects in view.
Video transcript: People counting camera demo
[00:02] Do you wonder how much foot traffic your business gets?
Whether you operate a convenience store, a laundromat, or an office, knowing how many people are entering and exiting can provide useful insight into daily activity.
[00:15] This is an Avalonix Premium Series 5 megapixel turret camera with built-in people counting analytics.
You can use this camera to get a clear picture of how much foot traffic your business sees throughout the day.
[00:24] Setting up people counting is very easy.
First, make sure you have a microSD card installed inside the camera.
Then go to Settings, select Event, and choose People Counting.
Draw your counting rule on the scene and set the parameters. Once this is done, the camera is ready to count.
[00:42] As people walk through the rule, the camera automatically detects them and updates the counts.
[00:55] Once data has been collected, you can go to the Report section and search by date.
Here you can see one day of test data showing the total number of enters and exits.
You can pull reports for daily, monthly, or yearly foot traffic totals.
[01:05] In this demo, the camera is pulled up on a Mac using the viewing software.
The camera is connected directly over the network, and as people walk by, the live count is displayed on the video.
[01:16] You can see the enter count update in real time as someone crosses the rule.
When a person exits and walks back out, the exit count updates as well.
[01:26] In this setup, there are objects visible in the background.
The purpose of this test is to show that the camera focuses on analyzing the foreground and excludes unrelated background objects.
Many cameras on the market struggle with this, which can lead to inaccurate counts.
[01:55] This level of people counting performance is part of the Avalonix Premium Series available from CCTV Camera World.
You can find this people counting camera at cctvcameraworld.com for your business.
What We Saw in Testing
In our test footage, you can see the enter and exit numbers change live as people cross the counting rule. For example, the enter count updates immediately as someone passes through, and the exit count updates when they walk back out.
We also intentionally included background objects to see if the analytics would get confused. The camera stayed locked on the defined foreground path and did not count irrelevant background activity, which is a common issue with less capable people counting setups.
Mounting notes (ceiling, wall, and side profile counting)
Many people counting cameras assume overhead mounting for best results. In our testing for the new people counting video, we were able to mount from the side and still capture enter and exit counts from a side-profile view. Real-world accuracy always depends on doorway width, camera height, angle, and how cleanly the rule is drawn, but the side-mount result is useful when overhead mounting is not possible.
Audio and Active Deterrence Demos
Beyond people counting, this camera is also designed for proactive security. It includes built-in two-way audio and active deterrence features so you can speak through the camera, trigger voice alerts, and use light and sound to discourage unwanted behavior near entrances and service areas.

FAQ
Do I need an NVR to use people counting?
No. In our demo we used a microSD card in the camera so it could store data and generate reports. An NVR is useful when you want centralized recording across multiple cameras.
Can this camera count both enters and exits?
Yes. When the people counting rule is configured, the camera tracks enter and exit counts as people cross the defined rule.
Where should I mount a people counting camera?
Overhead mounting is common, but it depends on the space. In our testing for the people counting demo, side mounting still produced usable results when the rule was drawn correctly and the scene was clean.
How do I pull people counting reports?
Go to the Report section and search by date range. The camera can show totals for daily, monthly, or yearly periods.
Is this still a full security camera?
Yes. It is designed for security use with two-way audio and active deterrence features, plus analytics like people counting.

No the camera does not record people counting as an event such as motion. You can not pair people counting detection with recording video on the camera's microSD or as motion event on the NVR. It is only for statistical analysis to pull reports over time.

Does this camera have audio detection?
Question by: Frank on Mar 13, 2026, 10:21 AM
Yes. Our professional Avalonix IP cameras support audio detection, and this setting can be managed through the camera’s built-in web interface.
To access these options, the user would open a web browser such as Chrome or Firefox on a Mac or PC that is connected to the same local network as the camera. After logging into the camera through the browser, they can go into the settings menu and turn audio detection on or off as needed.
In simple terms, audio detection lets the camera listen for sound changes in the area and respond when noise reaches a level you set. Through the web interface, the user can enable the feature, adjust how sensitive it is, set the threshold for what should count as an audio event, and choose what the camera should do when sound is detected. For example, the camera can be set to trigger recording or capture a snapshot when an audio event occurs.
