Appendix D: Method Statement and Risk Assessment

INVOLVES:

  • To install the people counter devices & setup the system at the back office.
  • Install people counter, CAT 5e network cables, router/modem setup at the back office

 

METHODOLOGY

FootfallCam 3D Plus people counting systems are easily installed in the store, usually at the middle of doorway, facing perpendicularly down to count people coming in or going out when they passing by the counter. Counter should be installed at the top of the ceiling, as close to the door as possible (usually is 1m from the entrance).

A people counter is mounted directly on the surface of a ceiling and, therefore, completely visible. Surface mounting is commonly used for installation and it is easy to be done.

The installation for one counter camera is simple and easy. To connect Wi-Fi routers with people counter at the entrance ceiling, engineers need to run 1x CAT 5e network cable from back office to the entrance (door). The CAT 5e cable will be hidden inside the ceiling. Lastly, screw the people counter onto the ceiling using a ladder if required.

There are no drilling, lightning or noisy works during installation. The installation can be done quietly during the day, and will not affect the customers shopping experience.
