Frequently Asked Questions

There are a number of methods you can use to display the SafeCount live occupancy dashboards on a screen. Below, we have detailed the simplest and easiest methods, however others are possible.

Please note that whichever method you choose, the device you are using will require an up to date web browser (we recommend Chrome as it has been fully tested).

TV screen (via a PC stick) - A PC stick is an extremely small computer (the size of a large USB dongle) that typically plugs in to a HDMI port. We recommend using a wireless keyboard and mouse to load the web browser and navigate to the SafeCount dashboards.
All in one PC - Similar to the TV screen option above, however the screen already has the computer built in to it. Again, we recommend using a wireless keyboard and mouse to load the web browser and navigate to the SafeCount dashboards.
Tablet - Any tablet less than 3yrs old should be able to handle the demands of the SafeCount dashboard. Screensizes can vary a lot on tablets so please ensure the resolution of the one you select is greater than 1024px by 700px. If you are mounting the tablet for display, ensure it is big enough and positioned optimally so it can be seen as people approach the area.
Mobile - Most modern smartphones (less than 3yrs) should be able to handle the demands of the SafeCount dashboards. Whilst we wouldn't recommend using a mobile device to display the dashboard to visitors or customers, it can be used by staff members to monitor status and performance in real time.

We have written an entire blog on the value of occupancy data and how it can be maximised.

In summary, the long term benefits of occupancy data are:

Optimising performance
Improving customer and employee experience
Reducing real estate costs

The SafeCount sensors you install now, can also be utilised in more advanced systems in the future. For example:

Retail stores can install additional sensors within their stores to capture advanced retail analytics that enable them to understand customers better and improve their shopping experiences.
Supermarkets can add sensors above their checkouts to capture data for a queue management system that can solution can improve customer service, reduce queue length and time, and optimise staffing costs and efficiency.
Offices and workplaces can expand on the sensors installed in their building to truly understand how their space is utilised and enable significant real estate cost savings. Learn more about our True Occupancy solution for buildings.
