Hardware
Traffic Pro Hardware consists of the Event Logger and a range of Sensors (shown below) to provide the most robust people counting system on the market.
Event Logger - 400 & 800, 410 & 810 (IP Ready)
Event Loggers come with 4 or 8 channels that can accommodate the various types of sensors including Beonic's exclusive bi-directional sensors. It has memory to record and store hour-by-hour data from up to 8 independent sensors. Event Loggers can be daisy-chained to add additional doors or entry points into the system. This unit can be used with either the Traffic Pro or Traffic Insight software.
The release of "IP Ready" Event Logger gives extra flexibility with data connectivity. You are able to plug the event logger into any LAN or WAN and transfer data directly over your current network structure (*Only with Enterprise Software). This minimises the need to run daisy chain cable between Event loggers.

- Direct reading of count information from LCD Screen
- Occupancy measure for Nightclub/Hotel environments
800 Series
- 8 Channels (Normally 4 entries)
- 4MB of Internal memory
- RS422/485 Communications for linking loggers together
- Serial Port for firmware upgrades and Direct Connection to PC
- Ethernet option (Model 810)
- Direct reading of count information from LCD Screen
- Occupancy measure for Nightclub/Hotel environments
Sensors
Beonic supports various types of sensors for all types of doorways and zones. The sensors are either designed, manufactured or tested at Beonic and we know from experience that the sensors we stock are accurate, reliable and robust. The selection of sensors available will cover most types of doors and entry points. We can supply sensors that can perform reflex, through-beam, bi-directional, proximity and thermal counting. Various face plates for the sensors are available to give a professional finish and a non-obtrusive look. The New Thermal Sensor (shown to the right) is installed in the ceiling overhead which removes the ablility to block the sensor and has proven to provide the most accurate form of peolple counting in the world today.
The ceiling mounted sensors use an Active Infra-Red (IR) system to detect the heat of people passing underneath the sensor. The sensors see a square on the floor approximately the same size as the height of the unit. They track all movement of body heat through this space. The sensors have a flexible counting zone that can be easily changed to maximise the counting accuracy of the entry.
Beonic Thermal Sensors have the highest accuracy rate in its class with accuracy levels consistently above 90% without the need for any multipliers or dividers. The sensor will maintain this accuracy even in very hight flow rates such as Train Stations, Airports, or shopping centre entries.
Beonic Thermal Sensors are ceiling mounted they see all of the people passing under the sensors. Traditional side mounted technology is unable to separate people entering in groups or in high flow environments. Beonic Thermal Sensors are not affected by ambient lighting conditions or shadowing, which is a common complaint of video based people counting solutions.
Beonic Thermal Sensors are available in two types:
- Single, for small entries up to 4.5m in width
- Master/Slave, up to 7 of these sensors can be linked to count wide openings up to 26m in width
The width the Beonic Thermal Sensors will see is dependent on the height of the area to be counted. The lower the height, the narrower the width. Beonic Thermal sensors come in three lens angles to let count at heights up to 12.5m above the floor.
Overhead* sensor benefits *Overhead sensors are thermal or video
Overhead versus beams
- Much more accurate
- Counts both directions
- Flexible shaped zones
- Lower maintenance
- Cannot be blocked
Thermal versus video
- Note affected by lighting
- Does not count trolleys
- Does not count prams
- More accurate
- More reliable
- No in store server needed
