When set to Room Occupancy, a Portal Beam measures the number of people detected.
If you have two portal beams in the same room, contact your Kontakt.io representative or submit a request to our support team. We'll help determine the best placement for each Portal Beam.
Ceiling location: mount in the middle of the area being measured.

Mounting height: the higher the Portal Beam is mounted, the greater the field-of-view (FOV) coverage. For optimal coverage, mount at its maximum height of 13.2 ft (4 m) and do not mount below its minimum install height of 7.8 ft (2.4 m).
Refer to the coverage area specifications to calculate the coverage area based on its mounting height.
Avoid mounting near heat vents, lighting, windows, or other electronic devices that emit heat. Heat sources can impact accuracy.
A Portal Beam detects people measurements by the thermal heat image captured within its field of view (FOV) coverage. Refer to the below table to calculate its mounting height coverage area.
Note
Calculations are based on an average people height of 6 ft (185 cm).
