Be clear on what you want to achieve

If you want your occupancy analytics project to succeed you need clarity on what you exactly want to achieve from it. Spend sufficient time to plan and set the right goals and obtain a positive Return on Investment on your occupancy analytics project.   


Types of occupancy sensor mounting options available 

Three kinds of sensor mounting options are available in the market, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. The options include a desk, wall, and ceiling-mounted sensors. Choose the best-suited option. The following are some key considerations to be borne in mind for each one of them.


Ceiling Mounted Occupancy Sensor

A ceiling occupancy sensor is best suited for large and informal spaces. If you want to ascertain occupancy levels in a lounge area, informal meeting areas, cafeteria or flexible co-working areas, or conference rooms, this occupancy sensor is your best bet. You can also install more than one ceiling mounted occupancy sensor to cover larger areas.  


Ceiling occupancy sensors are also equipped with Image Recognition Technology. These are suitable for open, wide, and shared office areas. They can accurately detect the number of individuals occupying the workspace in real time and help optimise the cost-per-area coverage ratio.

Ceiling mount occupancy sensors need to be powered through the Power on Ethernet option to avoid a separate power supply.


Other Mounting Options

In addition to ceiling mounted occupancy sensors, there are other kinds available such as wall mount sensors, and desk occupancy sensors.

Desk occupancy sensors are best suited for small meeting areas, office rooms, cubicles, or desks spread out in the office.

Wall mount sensors are best suited for checking the occupancy of small enclosed areas like phone booths, focus rooms, or quiet rooms. 

Whichever option you choose, get it installed from a reliable supplier!
