The problem
Why You Need an Occupancy Counter
Fire safety and licensing regulations require accurate occupancy management. Without an occupancy counter, you are exposed to compliance violations and liability.
Without real-time occupancy data, crowding builds up before staff notice. By the time the problem is visible, the customer experience has already deteriorated.
Manual headcounts and clickers provide a snapshot but cannot track occupancy continuously. You need a live occupancy counter for proactive capacity management.
Simple setup
How Occupancy Counting Works
Install at Entrances
Mount Hoxton AI occupancy sensors above each entrance and exit. 15-minute install per sensor — no construction work needed.
Count In & Out
The occupancy counter tracks every person entering and exiting in real time, maintaining a live count of people currently inside the space.
Set Capacity Thresholds
Configure occupancy limits for your space. The system alerts staff when thresholds are approaching or exceeded — before problems arise.
Monitor & Report
View live occupancy dashboards, historical utilisation patterns, and compliance reports. Optimise space usage based on real data.

Why 98%+ accuracy
Counting based on journey prediction, not simple line crossings
Most people counters fire a +1 the instant something crosses a beam or line. That's fast — but it's also why they overcount. Hoxton works differently: it uses an overhead view to recognise a complete in-view journey and only counts when the journey matches a real entry or exit.
Traditional counters
A single trigger = a count, every time the line is crossed.
- ●Security guard pacing near the doorway? Counted repeatedly.
- ●Customer steps in, hesitates, turns back out? Often counted twice.
- ●Staff working near the entrance? Every pass inflates the number.
Result: counts drift upward anytime there's “doorway noise”.
Hoxton AI directional event counting
A count is only created when the system confirms a genuine entry/exit event.
- ●Understands a person's in-view journey from arrival to departure.
- ●Someone loops, pauses, or changes their mind? No false extra counts.
- ●A count only registers when they arrive on one side and leave on the other — a real entry or exit.
Result: accurate footfall that matches what actually happened, not how many times a line was crossed.
How directional event and journey prediction works
Detect
Person enters the field of view
A person is detected as they arrive in the overhead zone.
Interpret
Movement is understood in context
The system evaluates whether the movement indicates entering, exiting, or lingering/turning back (including loops and hesitation).
Confirm
Count only when the journey is complete
A count is recorded only when the person leaves the zone in the opposite direction — confirming a true entry/exit event, once.
