What is a people counter?
A people counter is a sensor mounted above or beside a doorway that counts how many people walk in and out of a space. PXP's people counter reports those counts by hour, day and location, and places foot traffic alongside feedback scores, alerts and service schedules in one dashboard.
Does the people counter use cameras?
No. PXP's people counters capture no images of people. They record anonymous in and out counts only, so they can be used in restrooms, clinics and other privacy-sensitive spaces.
Which people counter do I need?
For a standard doorway or corridor - such as a restroom, room entrance or hallway - a compact doorway counter is the usual choice. For lobbies, mall entrances and terminals where people walk side by side, a wide-area counter covers a larger zone with higher accuracy. Many sites use both.
Do people counters need wiring or our IT network?
No. The sensors are battery-powered with years between battery swaps, so most installs need no wiring or electrician. Counts travel over a dedicated wireless gateway that runs independently of your corporate IT network and Wi-Fi.
Can it show live occupancy and capacity alerts?
Yes. Because the counter measures people coming in and going out, PXP can show how many people are in a space right now and alert the team when it passes a capacity limit you set.
How does people counting work with customer feedback?
Visitor counts give feedback context. PXP shows true response rates, complaints per 1,000 visitors and ratings by hour next to traffic, so teams can tell whether a drop in satisfaction comes from a busy period or a real service problem.
Can visitor counts trigger cleaning or staff alerts?
Yes. Set a visitor threshold per space and PXP alerts the team when it is reached - for example, servicing a restroom after a set number of visitors since its last cleaning. Alerts and work orders run through PXP Action Hub with SMS, email or WhatsApp notifications.
Do the sensors measure temperature?
Yes. The sensors also report temperature, so you can check whether comfort or cleanliness complaints line up with a room running too hot or too cold.
Can I compare foot traffic across multiple locations?
Yes. Every sensor is tied to a location, so entrances, floors, buildings and sites can be compared by hour, day of week and period on the same dashboard, alongside their feedback results.
