Hardware components for installation:
1x Giada DN 74 - Endpoint for sensors to send data to
x PC2SE Xovis sensor  - Sensors used to count occupancy. Number and model will vary depending on ceiling height, door width.

The sensors collect and send data to the giada device which is connected to our occupancy solution that both counts occupancy in real time but also provides analytics for footfall/occupancy on specific days/times/weeks. Staff exclusion badges are used to not count staff crossing the count lines.

The sensors are installed in the ceiling about 10-20 Feet in from the entrance / exit. For staff exclusion badges see the picture below for optimal heights. This will also depend on the sensor being used, most likely it will be a PC2SE, if the entrance is very wide a PC2SE-UL might be used.

The sensors run on PoE (Power over Ethernet), meaning if the switches support it only an ethernet cable to each sensor is needed.
If the switch does not support PoE an PoE-injector can be added. Image below for example:

Once the sensors are connected and online a laptop with access to a browser can be used to access the sensors and set up the counting areas and test connection to the Phygrid platform.

Steps that need to be taken for installation:

  1. Site survey - How many entrances/exits. What is the width / height for each? If the height is outside of the recommendation for staff exclusion a solution to use a mount that brings it lower down may be needed.

  2. Firewall whitelisting - Done by Warner partner with information from Phygrid. Can be confirmed by tech on site 

  1. Ordering hardware after site survey is done and number and type of sensors have been determined

  1. Setting up giada device with PhyOS and setting up tenant installation for occupancy control

  2. Installing sensors and giada on site

  3. Configuring the sensor read areas and setting up count lines and data push

  4. Final testing

Some pictures from the Warner store in Kings Cross where a long mount was used to lower the sensor to an appropriate height:
