OverviewThe VS13x AI ToF People Counting Sensor combines 2nd-generation Time-of-Flight hardware with onboard AI to provide anonymous, GDPR-compliant overhead people counting for retail, smart buildings, transport and other public spaces. The series includes VS133 (standard ceiling) and VS135 (high-ceiling) variants with model-dependent connectivity options.
Key technologies- 2nd‑generation ToF sensing for accurate depth measurement in varied lighting
- AI filtering to exclude non-human targets and reduce false counts
- Privacy-first architecture: anonymous detection with GDPR-aligned privacy controls
People counting & analytics capabilities- Bi-directional counting with multiple counting lines
- Regional counting: up to 4 configurable detection areas with dwell-time metrics
- Group counting and adult/child differentiation
- Staff exclusion using lanyard/tag identification
- U-turn and transient filtering to prevent double counts
- Tailgating detection and shopping-cart fill-level analytics
- Occlusion handling and motion/dwell heat-map visualization
- Multi-device stitching to produce unified coverage across sensors
Deployment & connectivity- Flexible mounting: ceiling, extended ceiling or lintel mounts (optional brackets)
- Connectivity variants: Ethernet (PoE), LoRaWAN®, Wi‑Fi HaLow, Cellular (LTE CAT4) — depends on SKU
- Standard port: 1 × RJ45 10/100 Mbps (PoE PD); supports HTTP(S), MQTT(S), NTP, 802.1x, SSH, LLDP and BACnet/IP (PoE models)
- VPN (OpenVPN) support and payload decoders for common IoT platforms
Management & integration- Local storage: up to ~1,000,000 records with CSV export
- OTA device management, provisioning and firmware updates via Milesight IoT Cloud / DeviceHub / Milesight Development Platform
- Optional short video validation channel for verification
- AP Wi‑Fi configuration and web/REST APIs for third-party integration
Privacy & compliance- GDPR-certified anonymous people counting (no identifiable imagery required)
- Regulatory approvals: CE, FCC (model dependent); environmental compliance: RoHS
Typical use cases- Retail: footfall, conversion, queue and staffing optimization
- Smart buildings: occupancy-driven HVAC, space management and energy optimization
- Transport hubs & venues: entrance monitoring, crowd analytics and security
