How does infrared people counter work?

When entering and leaving the shopping mall gate, you will often see some small square boxes installed on the walls on both sides of the gate. When people pass by, the small boxes will flash red lights. These little boxes are infrared people counters.

Infrared people counter is mainly composed of a receiver and a transmitter. The installation method is very simple. Install the receiver and transmitter on both sides of the wall according to the entry and exit directions. The equipment on both sides must be at the same height and installed facing each other, and then the pedestrians passing by can be counted.

The working principle of the Infrared people counting system mainly relies on the combination of infrared sensors and counting circuits. The transmitter of the Infrared people counting system will continuously emit infrared signals. These infrared signals are reflected or blocked when they encounter objects. The infrared receiver picks up these reflected or blocked infrared signals. Once the receiver receives the signal, it converts the infrared signal into an electrical signal. The electrical signal will be amplified by the amplifier circuit for subsequent processing. The amplified electrical signal will be clearer and easier to identify and calculate. The amplified signal is then fed into the counting circuit. Counting circuits will digitally process and count these signals to determine the number of times the object has passed.The counting circuit displays the counting results in digital form on the display screen, thereby visually displaying the number of times the object has passed.

In retail places such as shopping malls and supermarkets, IR beam people counters are often used to count customer traffic flow. Infrared sensors installed at the door or both sides of the passage can record the number of people entering and exiting in real time and accurately, helping managers understand the passenger flow situation and make more scientific business decisions. In public places such as parks, exhibition halls, libraries, and airports, it can be used to count the number of tourists and help managers understand the congestion level of the place so that they can take safety measures or adjust service strategies in a timely manner. In the transportation field, IR beam counters are also widely used for vehicle counting to provide data support for traffic management and planning.

Infrared beam human counting machine has broad application prospects in many fields due to its advantages of non-contact counting, fast and accurate, stable and reliable, wide applicability and scalability.
