      Hardware Description

      Sensor

      AI Occupancy Sensor uses anonymous people counting data to help you see and understand your space utilization. Easy and convenient wireless deployment, the benefits of LoRa technology guarantee low power consumption, long-distance transmission, and anonymous detection.  The sensor transmits data with no personally identifiable information involved, which 100% guarantees privacy protection.

      Packing List

       

      Hardware Overview

      Field Of View – 90° Horizontal, 112° Vertical

      Recognition Range – A radius of 16 feet, at a height of 10 feet.  Installed at the recommended 3 meters (~10 feet), the sensor covers a wide area of 78m2 (839 square feet)

      Installation Height – 8 feet to 13 feet

      Occupancy Sensor requires a power supply.  This sensor is not equipped with battery power.

           

      Factors Affecting Accuracy:

      • Do not install the sensor too close to a door where moving objects may interfere with the counting area.
      • Do not install the sensor near direct sunlight as direct sunlight will interfere with the counting area.
      • Avoid installing the sensor near a mirror. 

        Other variables that could interfere with the counting area:
        • The floor color and the wall color are black.  (The brightness of the scene will be reduced due to the absorption of light by black.) 
        • The color of hair or clothes is close to the floor color.  (It will make it difficult for the algorithm to identify the correct object, thus affecting the accuracy.)
        • The contrast between light and dark in the scene is too strong. (It will cause the people to be backlit, which will affect the accuracy of the detection.)

      Physical Ceiling Installation

      The Occupancy sensor will come with 4 mounting screws. 

      1. Ensure the thickness of the ceiling is more than 30 mm, then attach the mounting sticker to the ceiling and drill 4 holes with a diameter of 6 mm.
      2. Fix the wall plugs into the ceiling holes.
      3. Plug the sensor into power into the back of the device using the Type-C Cable and power adapter (if needed), in the ceiling.
      4. Remove the cover on the device, then fix the device to the wall plugs via mounting screws.  Remember to adjust the mounting direction according to the detection area requirement and direction sticker on the inner cover.  
      5. Attach the cover to the device, note that the Sonicu Logo should be facing the LED indicator.  
      6. The sensor should automatically connect to the SoniLink Hub in range.

      Once the Sensor has been installed, now is time to set the sensor up in SoniCloud.
