Measure queue length

Retailers and event organisers can use the RSL Occupancy Meter software to monitor queue length. If the camera is pointing to the queuing zone, the software will count the number of people in the queue.

How it works

The software runs under Window. It regularly reads a video feed from an IP camera such as is often already installed in the building. It does this using RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) . Using AI, the Occupancy Meter software counts the number of people in the picture. Every hour it saves the highest occupancy figure to file for later analysis.

The software come with an MIT licence which means it can be freely used, copied and redistributed. The licence also specifies that the software is provided “as is” without warranty. You can read the licence’s conditions of use here.
