Common questions about library people counting
A library people counter is a sensor device that tracks how many patrons enter and exit a library or a specific zone. Libraries use this data to plan staffing, manage space, measure program attendance, and support funding and reporting needs.
Pearl mounts on each side of the entrance with peel-and-stick tape and connects to your Wi-Fi through the free app. No wiring, no IT department, and no contractor needed. Setup takes about 15 minutes, and your first visitor counts appear in the dashboard within 2 hours.
The Pearl installs in under 15 minutes. It’s battery-powered, requires no wiring, and mounts on any standard doorframe, stick-on or screw mount, your choice. Connect it to Wi-Fi via the free app and patron counts appear in your dashboard within 2 hours. The 3D Scope II LC requires ceiling mounting and a single ethernet cable for both power and network. Once physically installed, you book a remote calibration session with the Storetraffic team, who handle the configuration for you.
For most small public libraries, Pearl is the top choice. It’s the most affordable option in the lineup, with no wiring or IT support needed to get it running. It pairs well with most standard entrances and gives you reliable patron counts day after day.
Most libraries install a visitor counter to prove their value to funding agencies with real usage numbers. Once it’s in place, the same data helps schedule staff around busy and quiet hours, spot which spaces or programs draw the most use, and back up budget decisions with facts instead of guesswork.
