The CountRecorder has been an industry staple since the early 90’s when an on-board memory chip was added to the AccuraCounter. It was now possible to capture and store Hourly/Daily/Weekly/Monthly counts without the need for PC networks and software.

Today, you can select from the standalone Basic CountRecorder (where you walk to the display to read the counts) or the Wired Network CountRecorder or the new WiFi CountRecorder (both providing counts and reports at your PC).

The CountRecorder uses an ac-powered, infrared reflected beam-break sensor that sends a safe and invisible infrared beam to the reflector installed opposite the sensor. When someone, or something, passes through this invisible beam, they “break” the beam and are counted. Single beam “non-directional” people counters do not separate the IN and OUT counts. So if someone walks in, then walks out, they will be counted twice, and you will need to divide the number on the display by 2 to arrive at a visitor count. Or you can program the CountRecorder to automatically divide by 2. Dual beam IN/OUT Directional CountRecorders are available.

The physics of a beam break people counter means that if two people walk through side-by-side, they will be counted as one. And if a group of people walk through at the same time, it is unlikely that all of them will be counted. ALL infrared beam-interrupt people counters work in the same way. On a single door entrance (typically 36″ wide), most people enter one at a time, so the counting accuracy is typical very high (93 to 95%). But on a double-door entrance – this typical accuracy can drop to 80 to 85%.

When we are consulting with our customers and helping them decide which people counter best meets their needs, we often here the question that goes something like, ‘why would I want to spend extra money in order to know how many people came in each and every hour?’.
