Occupancy Compliance: room counts against your limit

Occupancy Compliance is a Svid check that counts the people in a space on your existing cameras and compares the count to the limit you set for that space, raising an alert when a room goes over. No sensors on the door, no clickers, no new hardware.


What it does

Svid already describes every frame of your footage. Occupancy Compliance is a check that keeps a running count of people in a camera's view and checks it against the limit you set for that space: a function room set to 80, a gym floor set to 40, a bar area set to whatever the licence says. The count is live, and it's per space, not per building, so one busy room going over doesn't get lost in a building-wide total.

Where the clicker falls down

Door counts drift the moment there's a second entrance, a fire exit propped open on a warm night, or a shift change where nobody hands over the tally. A clicker counts people crossing a line, not people in a room. Cameras see the room itself, so the count reflects who's actually in there right now, not who walked past a doorway at some point this evening.

What an alert looks like

An alert fires when a space goes over its limit, on screen, by email or by JSON webhook, with a plain description and a link to the moment. A webhook is the usual route to a manager's phone or a wall display at the door. A typical alert reads: "Function room over set limit: 87 people counted against a limit of 80, 21:14."

Where it runs

Like every check, Occupancy Compliance is switched on per camera, so the function room camera can run it while the corridor camera is left alone. It works on RTSP feeds from your existing recorder, on uploaded files, on video URLs, and on a live phone camera propped up for a one-off event. Recorded footage runs through the same pipeline, so you can check what Friday night actually peaked at, not just guess from the door count.

What it costs

There's no rate card. The Store prices Occupancy Compliance from your own usage before you buy, shown as "+$X/mo at your usage" next to the check. It's added to a monthly subscription priced from your own usage with a $9 a month floor, and the whole derivation is on screen at signup. The pricing section walks through the arithmetic.

Do I need people counters or door sensors?
No. Occupancy Compliance runs on the cameras already covering the space, so there's nothing new to fit at the door.
Can each room have a different limit?
Yes. The limit is set per space, and the check is switched on per camera, so a function room, a gym floor and a bar area can each run to their own number.
Does it work on recorded footage?
Yes. Live and recorded video go through the same pipeline, so you can audit last weekend's footage before you commit a live camera to it.
