Introduction

A new detection engine.
Proof of Metrici's AI leadership.

Metrici launches Area Counter — a new software module and detection engine that demonstrates the company's deep understanding and continuous investment in AI-powered products and real world detection challenges.

Area Counter joins Metrici's existing software lineup, including LPR with its modules (Weighing, Toll Station, Parking), Container Code Recognition, and Parking Place Detector.

The first release of Area Counter supports people and vehicles detection out of the box — with custom detection available through Metrici's DNN training, allowing you to recognize and count anything: boxes, industrial pieces, animals, or any object unique to your operations.

How It Works

Define a zone.
Set a limit. Get alerts.

Whenever the count of a selected object type changes within a zone, an event is logged to the database with a photo snapshot and metadata — all filterable in the interface.

Use it as a security feature with alarms for objects entering or leaving a monitored zone, or as a management tool for parking, traffic, pedestrian areas, and queue monitoring in retail or institutional settings.

This versatility opens up a wide range of use cases across the engine and interface.

      How it works: User defines a detection zone → Selects detection type (people or vehicles) → Sets object count limits and alarm thresholds → Events logged with photo snapshots → All data accessible in Metrici Interface with reports and statistics
    

Detection Types

Three detection types, infinite applications.
People, vehicles, or anything you train it to see.

Area Counter Detection Options

👤

People Detection Count individuals entering, exiting, or lingering in defined zones. Ideal for security, retail analytics, and occupancy monitoring.

🚗

Vehicle Detection Track vehicles in parking lots, traffic, and restricted zones. Same versatility as people detection, applied to automotive flows.

🎯

Custom Detection Deploy Metrici's DNN training to detect anything — boxes, industrial pieces, animals etc. Train the neural network on your specific items for unlimited recognition possibilities.

Users can easily switch detection types from the Metrici Control Panel — toggling between people, vehicles, or custom-trained detection as needed. And as Metrici continuously develops its detection engines, the number of choices will grow even more.

Security

Secure any perimeter.
Alarms, limits, and full control.

🔒 Perimeter Security

Trigger alarms when unauthorized individuals enter or linger in a defined perimeter. Ideal for airports, subway stations, and restricted facilities.

🏭 Industrial Sites

Monitor factories, production facilities, and any environment where access must be controlled or occupancy limited.

🅿️ Parking Management

Integrate with Parking Place Detector. Define parking zones and set maximum vehicle capacity with real-time alerts.

🚧 Restricted Zones

Trigger alarms for vehicles parked in forbidden zones or people entering areas where they shouldn't be.

Retail & Service

Understand your customers.
Hot spots, queues, and foot traffic.

In the service industry, shopping malls can identify business hot spots and high-traffic zones. Supermarkets can track the most visited sections and open additional checkout lanes when queues form.

Operators can monitor entry/exit counts per entrance throughout the day and even track stair usage. For each zone, users can set object count limits, configure alarms, or simply log events for later review.

As always, Metrici Interface settings are highly versatile. This engine integrates seamlessly with other Metrici detection engines, all accessible from a single web interface.

Traffic & Parking

Smart traffic management.
Parking, intersections, and enforcement.

For parking management, Area Counter integrates with Parking Place Detector. Users define a parking zone and set the maximum vehicle capacity.

Cities can use it to monitor vehicle counts at intersections and trigger alarms for vehicles parked in restricted zones.

When setting a zone limit, users can trigger virtual alarms or activate external hardware when capacity is reached or approached — or when a configurable threshold is crossed.

      Zone configuration: Set object count limits → Configure virtual alarms → Activate external hardware → Receive alerts via email or SMS → All data logged and filterable in the interface
    

Compliance

Enforce capacity limits.
Smart compliance monitoring.

In today's social landscape, where authorities enforce social distancing and advise against crowded spaces, Metrici Area Counter has become essential for compliance monitoring and alerting when regulations are breached.

For example, when occupancy exceeds a configurable threshold, alerts can be sent via email or SMS, or external hardware can be activated.

Leadership

A word from
our CEO.

Although the engine has been in testing for some time, there could be no better moment to launch it. What sets this project apart is not only its immediate real-time applicability, but also its potential as a foundation for future developments and integrations. The companies and authorities have been waiting for a solution that could meet their demand regarding security and management.

— Vlad Georgescu, Metrici CEO
