Prepare the view
Define the area and occupancy method.
Period-level occupancy can reveal peaks and quiet intervals, but only when the underlying estimates and sampling are comparable. Define the interval and baseline, and do not treat missing observations as zero occupancy.
Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.
Assess occupancy time series

The Process
Keep interval gaps and measurement changes visible Plan resources around qualified occupancy patterns.
Define the area and occupancy method.
Validate interval sampling and aggregation.
Review peaks, averages and missing periods distinctly.
Compare with schedules before changing resources.
Illustrative demonstration
Example footage and simulated events explain the review workflow. They do not measure detector performance.
No matching events.
EXPLORE WHAT’S POSSIBLE
01 / 04 · TIME-LAPSE OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Average use hides short peaks.
Example event: A peak interval exceeds the daily average.
Operator response: Review both measures.
Practical value: Improves planning interpretation.
Discuss this capability02 / 04 · TIME-LAPSE OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Demand changes around meal times.
Example event: Occupancy rises in recurring intervals.
Operator response: Coordinate service schedules.
Practical value: Supports period planning.
Discuss this capability03 / 04 · TIME-LAPSE OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
A camera outage creates a gap.
Example event: One interval has no data.
Operator response: Mark it unavailable rather than empty.
Practical value: Preserves trend accuracy.
Discuss this capability04 / 04 · TIME-LAPSE OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Keep the monitored area stable.
Visibility: Lighting changes can affect counts over time.
Configuration: Verify aggregation and timestamp handling.
Privacy: Prefer aggregate series over named histories.
Human review: Check coverage before interpreting a trend.
Discuss this capabilityFrequently asked questions
Summarizes occupancy estimates at defined intervals over a selected period.
No. It may mean no observation was available.
No. Label each measure clearly.
Only with appropriate normalization and context.
No. Occupancy estimates and employee attendance are different.
