Every industry asks different questions – baiond answers them in your words.
All industriesWe build the data journey for your case – let’s talk.
One data layer, seven functions, answers in plain language.
All functionsTwelve sensor families, every variant, and the ones we build for you.
All sensorsPeople counters tell you how many visitors are in a room, at a door or on a trail, and how that compares with last week. Anonymous, per entrance, from the museum hall to the stadium gate.
Most sites know their visitor numbers from ticket sales or a guess. A counter at each entrance gives the real figure at regular intervals: how full the hall is, when the peak comes, which entrance carries the load. That is the number you staff checkouts, open a second gate or turn the ventilation up by.
The counters sit above a door or beside a path and report wirelessly to the baiond Gateway; no images leave the device. The Space System knows which counter belongs to which room, so a question like "Is the nave too full for the 11 o'clock service?" gets an answer with the count, the CO₂ and the trend. In a supermarket the same data opens the second checkout before the queue passes nine people.
Pick the variant that fits the place. Whatever you choose, the readings arrive in the same platform and answer the same questions.
Counts people at a door by their body heat, without a picture.
Mounted above an entrance or beside a path, it registers the heat of each person passing and counts in and out separately. It works indoors and outdoors and uses little power. Because it never records an image, it is anonymous by design.
Tracks several people at once by heat, even in the dark.
A thermal sensor sees heat, not faces. It separates people walking side by side and follows how a crowd spreads through a space, in low light and changing weather. It suits busy zones where you need density, not just a door count, and costs more than a simple counter.
Registers footsteps under carpet or gravel.
The mat lies under flooring or a natural surface and counts each step on it. It is invisible to visitors and simple to install. It needs direct contact, so it fits moderate traffic at one controlled spot rather than a wide entrance.
AI camera
Counts, direction and dwell time from a camera, anonymised on the device.
An AI camera counts people in a wide area and tells direction, group size and how long people stay. The baiond AI camera evaluates the image on the device and sends numbers only, so no footage is stored. It suits entrances, walkways and waiting zones where traffic swings through the day.
Estimates visitor trends from phone signals, anonymously.
It picks up the signals phones send and turns them into an anonymous estimate of how many people are nearby and how they move between zones. Not every visitor carries an active device, so it gives a solid sample and trends over time rather than an exact count.
ToF
Counts precisely with light pulses, in any lighting.
A ToF sensor sends light pulses and measures how long they take to return. That gives exact counts and flow direction at a door, whatever the lighting. It is compact and fast, a good fit for indoor entrances and covered outdoor zones.
Maps a large open space with laser and follows people through it.
LiDAR scans a space with laser pulses and builds a 3D point cloud in which people show up as moving shapes, never as faces. It covers large or open areas with high accuracy and does not mind light or weather, which suits squares, venues and nature trails.
Every variant at a glance, with the protocols the readings travel on.
| Variant | Measures | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Infrared people counter | Entries and exits per door | Museum and church entrances, shop doors |
| Thermal imaging sensor | People per zone, density | Concourses, foyers, busy halls |
| Pressure mat | Footsteps per zone | Exhibition rooms, trail heads, single doors |
| Video analytics counter | Counts, direction, dwell time | Checkouts, gates, queues at a lift |
| Wi-Fi / Bluetooth sensor | Visitor estimate, movement between zones | Events, retail areas, transit |
| Time-of-flight sensor | Entries and exits, direction | Store doors, meeting rooms, lifts |
| LiDAR sensor | People and paths in 3D | Squares, stadium approaches, trails |

A question this sensor answers, the way baiond answers: readings, reasons, a recommendation and the source.
The sensor reports to the baiond Gateway, the Space System puts the reading in context (location, threshold, history), and the AI agent turns it into an answer.

Yes. There are 9 people in the checkout zone against a target of 4, and 52 visitors entered in the last 15 minutes, twice the usual late-afternoon rate. The queue is unlikely to clear on its own before 18:00.
Open checkout 2 now. baiond will tell you when the zone is back under four people.

Understood. I keep watching Store 07 · Checkout zone and let you know if anything changes.
Where this sensor carries the answer.
It can be set up in a privacy-friendly way: infrared, ToF and LiDAR counters see no faces at all, and the baiond AI camera evaluates the picture on the device and sends numbers only. The final GDPR assessment of your setup lies with your data protection officer.
For a normal door an infrared or ToF counter is enough. Wide entrances and crowds call for thermal or a camera; open squares and trails for LiDAR. We choose it with you on site.
Yes. Counting in and out at every door gives the current occupancy per room, and baiond compares it with your limit and with the same hour last week.
Most counters run on battery and send by radio to the baiond Gateway. Cameras and LiDAR need power at the mounting point.
