1-VS133-P with Xenometric platform



Description

Xenometric provide a professional platform focused on people counting and footfall analysis, widely used in scenarios such as retail, commercial complexes, transportation hubs, and public buildings. The platform can integrate data from a variety of sensors (such as thermal cameras, LiDAR, infrared devices, etc.) and uses intelligent algorithms to process and analyze this data in real-time. It provides key operational metrics such as footfall volume, entry/exit ratios, dwell time and occupancy. Users can access historical data, generate visual reports, view dashboards, and conduct multi-dimensional trend analysis through Xenometric's web-based management interface or API, helping businesses optimize human resource allocation, space layout, and marketing strategies.


In terms of deployment, Xenometric offers a variety of flexible options to meet the needs of different types of customers. It can be installed on local enterprise servers (On-Premise), which is suitable for organizations with high data security requirements. It can also be deployed in private cloud environments owned by customers or via public cloud SaaS mode for quick deployment and zero maintenance. For scenarios that require both local control and cloud computing capabilities, a hybrid deployment model is supported. These diverse deployment options provide Xenometric with high adaptability and scalability in real-world implementations.


This document mainly demonstrates how to integrate the VS133-P device with the Xenometric SaaS platform, using dashboards and other examples. Xenometric also supports Milesight’s VS135-P and VS125-P devices.




1.  Hardware Requirements

 Sensor Model: VS133-P 

 The device is connected to the Internet, or to the intranet for private server installations.


2.  Account Registration

First, contact Xenometric to discuss the type of system you would like to use. The choices are, 

 

a). Installing on a private server

b). Installing on your cloud server

c). Using Xenometric’s cloud server

After receiving your information, Xenometric staff will contact you to discuss the software installation and configuration codes for the VS133-P. Once the device is sending data to the Xenometrc software, Xenometric can provide login details to view the reporting information.


3.  Deployment Planning Parameters

First, determine how many buildings are involved in your deployment. Identify all zones in each building and determine how the VS133-P devices are going to be installed to count visitors into and out of the building and between the zones.


Once you have a plan of where the devices will be installed, Xenometric can help with assigning codes for each building (Site ID) and each device within the building (Device ID). These codes allow the reporting server to automatically configure reports to show your collection of buildings, zones and entrances.


The unique code for each building is assigned in the VS133-P’s Customized Site ID. The code for the distribution of VS133-P devices within a building is assign in the VS133-P’s Customized Device ID. You can also apply a Device Name, which helps identify each device.


Once you and Xenometric have agreed the Customized Site IDs and Customized Device IDs, you can add the relevant configuration to each VS133-P. This configuration will remain the same for the entire period that the device is installed at that location. A replacement device can use the same Customized Site ID and Customized Device ID.


4.  Terminal Device Configuration

First, follow the instructions in the <VS133-P User Guide> to connect the device to the Internet and configuring features such as time zone and system time.


Then, refer to the screenshot below to configure parameters for each VS133-P device. The fields Customized Site ID, Customized Device ID, and Device Name should be taken from Step 3.


The Data Push Settings on the VS133-P are used to tell the device where to send its data. 


The destination URL could point to a local server (e.g. http://192.68.1.100:80), or to your cloud server (e.g. https://counters.yourdomain.com:7443), or to Xenometric’s cloud server (e.g. http://data.xenometric.com:6000).


Xenometric can advise which URL is correct for your system.



5.  Data Verification

Once your VS133-P devices are configured to send data to the Xenometric software, you can login to the reporting portal to check that the location exists and has count data.


The screenshot below shows the status of all devices that are communicating.


You can also view many other reporting pages to determine that the device have sent live and historic data.

At this point, the VS133-P device is successfully integrated with the Xenometric platform.


6.  Frequently Asked Questions


Q1: Can the Device Name contain special characters?

A1: It is not recommended. Please use uppercase letters and spaces only. You can apply special characters in the Xenometric reporting, so customers can enjoy their location names in their language. The config in the VS133-P is not seen by the customers who view the reporting. It is there to help the software and the installers.


Q2: How should the Device ID be formatted?

A2: The format depends on the rules you configure in the VS133-P. It is sensible to contact Xenometric to help with the Customized Device ID, until you become an expert. There is more detailed information here.
