Significant Factors Worth Considering
Age and Gender Recognition
Unlike V-Count’s sensors, which manage gender and age data at the sensor level to ensure GDPR compliance and eliminate the need for extra hardware, RetailNext transfers CCTV images for processing, raising GDPR concerns and necessitating additional hardware.
Staff Exclusion
V-Count’s staff exclusion methods deliver location accuracy within 5cm and have only a 100ms delay, eliminating the need for battery replacements or maintenance. In contrast, RetailNext’s Wifi/Ble-based tags used for staff exclusion can be less accurate and often require regular battery changes.
Complexity
V-Count simplifies this process by offering the plug-and-play Nano, a comprehensive sensor solution. On the other hand, RetailNext’s method involves using multiple sensors, existing CCTV feeds, servers, and additional hardware for various functions.
Darkness Performance
V-Count sensors maintain 99% accuracy even in total darkness at 0 lux. On the other hand, RetailNext sensors require a minimum level of light and cannot count in complete darkness.
Hidden Costs
RetailNext solutions usually come with a price tag that is three to four times higher than V-Count solutions. V-Count not only offers cost-effective solutions but also consistently delivers high quality and ensures a substantial return on investment.

You can start counting customers on the day you receive the sensor, thereby improving your business efficiency.
Thanks to Staff Exclusion, you can accurately count only the customers entering and exiting your store. As this excludes staff, the data you receive will be pristine. You can then make strategic decisions based on this accurate data.
V-Count sensor is installed with an angle to view the visitors’ faces. Visitor face data is processed anonymously to generate Age and Gender information with a machine learning algorithm and AI-on-Chip technology. According to face positions, the solution can provide attention time and impression counts.
Night vision feature ensures accurate counting even in low-light conditions or at night. This capability is particularly valuable for businesses that operate during extended hours, providing comprehensive data throughout the day.
V-Count sensor is installed in specific zones to measure visitor interest by providing traffic, dwell-time, heatmap and visitor flow metrics per zone. The data is then sent to the V-Count BoostBI platform as easy-to-understand reports.
