6.3 Environment Requirements
-
Dark floor/carpet (black, grey, etc.) will affect the device to count staffs when Staff Detection is enabled.
-
Avoid 940nm light which may result in incorrect counting.
-
Outdoor sunlight shining on the over channel will not have any effect, but the mirrored reflections that allow sunlight to shine on the ToF Sensor should be avoided.
-
When the carpet/floor is black, ensure that there are no obstacle within a 60cm hemisphere range in the direction of the device. Otherwise, the device imaging may appear abnormally
6.4 Installation
Ceiling Mount
Installation condition: ceiling thickness > 30mm.
Step 1: Take down the side covers.
Step 2 : Fix wall plugs into ceiling holes.
Step 3: Remove rubber plugs on the rubber sleeve, connect all required wires.
Note:
- Remove the rubber sleeve if waterproof is not required for easy installation.
- Use round wires.
- Ensure the rubber sleeve and the bottom cover are tightly connected without a gap if waterproof is required; if necessary, wrap the waterproof tapes around the wires to avoid any gap.
Step 4: Fix the device to ceiling with mounting screws.
Step 5: Restore side covers.
Ceiling/Lintel Mount (with Optional VB01 Multifunctional Bracket)
Step 1: Fix the pole to the device with the hole on the device.
Step 2: Adjust the length of the pole, then adjust the direction of 3-axis
ball and tighten it with the handle.
Step 3: Determine the mounting location and drill 3 holes, fix the wall plugs
into the mounting holes, then fix the bracket base to the wall plugs via
mounting screws.
(Note: If the wire needs to be extended to the interior of the ceiling or
wall, a wire hole with a suitable size is also required to be drilled.)
Step 4: Remove the cover on the device, and then connect all required wires
and pass them through the inside of pole.
(Note: if the alarm I/O of VS135-P is going to be used, please connect a
multi-interface cable to the device)
Step 5: Fix the pole to bracket base with screws and nuts.
Installation Note:
- Ensure that the ToF sensor is facing down and the tilt angle from the ground is no greater than 15° for the standard version, and no greater than 10° for the high ceiling mount version.
- Avoid direct Infrared LED light in the detection area.
- Not suggested to install the sensor close to glass or mirror.
- Ensure that there are no other objects blocking the ToF light within a 50cm radius of the device’s field of view.
- Though the device is compliant with Class 1 (IEC/EN 60825-1:2014), please DO NOT look at the ToF sensor too close and directly.
- Avoid installing the device against the wall and ensure the device keeps away from the wall with a distance of at least 40cm.
- When you install devices on the top of swinging doors, it is suggested to keep the door normally open. If the door must be normally closed, please install the device on the other side of the door to keep away from the door’s movement. And it is suggested to keep away from the door with a distance of at least 40cm.
6.5 Factors Affecting Accuracy
- Wearing a fisherman’s hat or carrying a cardboard box on the shoulder: The target will not be recognized because it will become unlike a human in depth map.
- Handheld or cart-carrying a humanoid doll with sufficient height to pass by: The doll will be mistakenly detected as people because it is human-like in depth map.
Communication Protocol
VS135-P will post the people counting data in json format to HTTP URL or MQTT
broker.
