Hi everyone,
I apologize if I'm behind the times but could use the collective experience
and wisdom of the group.
Is anyone using a directional people counter to keep track of the number of
patrons that have visited your library? We are currently using our 3M gate
count but find this unworkable as it does not include any kind of
directional count (how many in and how many out) and we are taking the
count manually and relying on staff to remember to do so every hour (or
even every number of hours) is not working out. We'd love to automate this
process and get better numbers. We've been looking around for some systems
that would do a directional count which are easy to install, easy to
operate and you could extract the data into a spreadsheet/database, etc.
Does anyone have any experience with such a product? Was it as easy as
advertised? Do you need any special knowledge such as SQL or the like?
Was it super expensive?
Anything you could tell me would be great.
Thanks!
Sue
