Occupancy Monitoring is the process of detecting and measuring how many people are present in a specific space at a given time. It uses technologies such as cameras, motion sensors, infrared sensors, or access systems to collect information about presence and movement. The collected data can be processed continuously to show current occupancy levels and changes over time.
For example, a building can use occupancy monitoring to determine whether meeting rooms, classrooms, or common areas are occupied. This helps organizations manage space efficiently, improve safety, and control lighting or heating systems. Applications include offices, schools, hospitals, retail stores, transport facilities, and smart buildings.
