People counting on the cameras you already have
No sensor at every door. No camera replacement. Turn the cameras you already own into occupancy, dwell, queue and conversion analytics — on-prem or in the cloud, while the same feed keeps doing security.
Works with any ONVIF or RTSP camera · Edge or cloud · No per-door hardware
Why Lumeo for people counting
Counting hardware is sold one doorway at a time, and only ever counts.
Use the cameras you have
Any ONVIF or RTSP camera, any vendor, any age. Lumeo runs the AI — so an old fixed dome counts as well as a new smart camera.
No sensor per doorway
Counting sensors cover one entrance each. One Lumeo camera carries as many lines, zones and queue regions as you need.
Security and counting, one camera
Count footfall by day, catch intrusion and loitering by night. Same stream, no second system.
On-prem or cloud
Run on a gateway in your building, or in Lumeo's cloud with no hardware to manage. Same workflows either way.
Private by design
Counting uses anonymous detections, never identities. Redact faces in the workflow, or publish counts as numbers and keep no video at all.
No-code, and yours to tune
Drag lines and zones onto the camera view, set thresholds, deploy. Need a custom metric? Build it — don't file a feature request.
What you can measure
Each one is a node you drop onto a camera feed. Combine them freely.
Entries & exits
Directional counts on any line you draw. In vs. out, by hour, by camera.
Line Crossing Counter
Live occupancy
How many people are in a zone right now, with highs and lows. Alert on overcrowding or capacity limits.
Occupancy Monitor
Dwell time
How long people linger at a display, a shelf, a waiting room. Mean, max, and counts over your threshold.
Occupancy Monitor · Presence Monitor
Queue length & wait time
Live queue size, min/max/mean wait, number served, and how many waited past your service target.
Occupancy Monitor
Heatmaps
Where attention and congestion concentrate — zone dwell intensity, plus heatmap charts by hour, day and site.
Occupancy Monitor · Lumeo Dashboard
Pass-by vs. entry conversion
How many walk past, how many come in. Your storefront camera becomes a capture-rate metric.
Line Crossing Counter · Object Flow Counter
Zone-to-zone flow
Anonymous tracks between regions reveal the paths people actually take.
Track Objects · Object Flow Counter
Peak-hour trends
Every count is timestamped, so staffing and hours get planned on evidence.

Accuracy in the scenes that break other systems
Any vendor can count a quiet doorway and claim 99%. What matters is the stadium gate, the fisheye, the crowd three people deep — so pick a different model per camera view instead of forcing one detector across the whole estate.
Ultra-high-density crowds
Hundreds of people per camera — stadiums, concerts, festival gates. A dedicated model handles crowds where ordinary detection gives up.
People Detection (Crowds — High Density)
Heads, not whole bodies
In a packed crowd bodies disappear behind bodies and counts fall short. Heads stay visible — count those instead, or both together.
People Detection (Crowds) · (Crowd Bodies)
Top-down and 360° views
An overhead fisheye sees the floor with almost no occlusion — the biggest accuracy win available. Purpose-built model, dewarping included.
People Detection (360 Camera) · Crop and Warp
Tunable, not take-it-or-leave-it
Knobs that get you from “roughly right” to “trust the number”
Sealed appliances give you a count and a support ticket. Lumeo exposes the parameters, so an awkward view gets tuned instead of tolerated.
Minimum dwell time
Only count people who stay N seconds. No more double-counts from someone pausing in a doorway or turning back.
Flexible multi-point lines
Lines are polylines, not one straight segment — trace an irregular entrance exactly. Chain them in sequence for true direction of travel.
Combine and average sources
Merge counts across cameras on the same entrance, reconcile head and body detections, or roll a sequence of lines into one number.
Real-world calibration
Map the view to real distances so zones follow the floor, not the pixels. Matters most on the wide views that are hardest to count.
Flexi Dashboards
One dashboard for every site, sliced however you think
Every camera, every location, one place. Regional rollups for the exec team, per-store detail for the manager, a live queue board for the floor.
- Every site in one view, or drill into a single doorway.
- Slice by site, region, customer — any label you define.
- Compare time ranges: this Saturday vs. last, this store vs. the region.
- Charts and live video together — the spike and the clip that explains it.
- Bar, line, leaderboard, heatmap, table, pie and single-number widgets.
- Same data out to BigQuery, Elasticsearch, Sheets, MQTT or your webhook.
From camera to counts in four steps
Configure it once. The hundredth site is the same setup, rolled out.
- 01
Connect your cameras
Add existing cameras over ONVIF or RTSP, or import from your VMS. No re-cabling, no swaps.
- 02
Draw lines and zones
Mark counting lines and occupancy, queue and dwell regions on the camera view. Set thresholds per zone.
- 03
Deploy to edge or cloud
Send the workflow to an on-prem gateway or Lumeo's cloud. Roll the same one out to a hundred sites.
- 04
Visualize and integrate
Counts land on your dashboard and flow into your BI stack. Threshold alerts reach your team and your VMS.
How the approaches compare
Three ways to count people. Only one of them also secures the building.

|---|---|---|---|
| Works with existing cameras | Any ONVIF or RTSP camera, any age | One sensor per entrance | That vendor's newer AI cameras |
| Many zones per device | Unlimited lines and zones per camera | One doorway per sensor | Limited to built-in analytics |
| Doubles as security | Intrusion, loitering, PPE, same stream | Counting only | Fixed feature set |
| Handles dense crowds & 360° views | High-density, head and fisheye models | Strong at a clean doorway | Whatever firmware supports |
| Edge or cloud, your choice | On-prem gateway or Lumeo cloud | On-device, vendor cloud | On-camera, vendor cloud |
| Multi-site aggregation built in | One dashboard across all sites | Vendor portal, per-site licensing | Varies by camera vendor |
| No camera vendor lock-in | Mix any vendors, any generation | Locked to the sensor vendor | Locked to one camera vendor |
| Customizable metrics | No-code editor, 100+ nodes and models | Fixed metric set | Fixed metric set |
| Open data export | BigQuery, Elastic, MQTT, webhooks, VMS | Vendor portal and API | Vendor portal and API |
