IR BreakBeam People Counter

The VS360 is a people counting sensor that is based on IR Breakbeam technology. Equipped with two devices, the principle is that the target blocks the infrared beam by detecting the area to achieve the purpose of counting. The sensor offers foot traffic counting with up to 80% accuracy, providing reliable data to support informed decision-making. Based on IR Breakbeam technology, it is not affected by ambient temperature and offers more adaptability without sunlight interference.
