The SC8131 is engineered to provide precise tracking and a high counting accuracy of up to 98%. This Stereo camera is set to offer three key benefits to the retail business sector, firstly, accurate traffic analysis, secondly improved staff management and finally optimised operational decisions.

When retailers recruit security staff or part-time employees to manually count traffic, they tend to produce a less than satisfactory result. With Vivotek’s SC8131, these valuable human resources now can be managed more efficiently while producing far higher levels of accuracy. The SC8131 is designed to equip a dual lens to mimic the operation of human eyes. Thanks to its 3D depth technology with high accuracy, the camera can distinguish individuals or groups, adult or children, and filter out carts, and strollers. it obtains bi-directional counting on a definable flow and tracking a moving path, avoiding double counting caused by u-turns. 

With this type of product, Vivotek believes it is committed to helping retailers think ahead and maximize their ROI. The SC8131 enhances business intelligence via Vivotek’s central management software, Vast, which produces dedicated counting reports. These real-time reports can be exported by schedule or for areas in a line chart, bar graph or pie chart and directly exported into Snapshot. And all the data can also be exported to Microsoft Excel for analysis. With Vast this solution provides a seamless counting function, which secures counting data all the time, even during unexpected network or power disruption ensuring that information is always to hand.

The SC8131 has already been implemented in many Asian and Latin American shopping centres and fully integrated with Wavestore video management software (VMS).  Vivotek expects more integrations in the near future to further enhance and improve retail efficiency requirements.
