Chapter 1 Introduction
The GV-Smart Box is a standalone device designed for indoor environments such as shops
and offices. Connecting to any analog camera, the GV-Smart Box counts the number of
visitors or faces. Having this data not only helps you keep an eye on your properties, but also
helps retailers identify peak traffic hours, providing valuable information for making strategic
decisions.
Without installing any software, you can easily access the live images and counting data of
the GV-Smart Box from anywhere in the world through a computer using the IE browser. You
can also integrate the GV-Smart Box with GV applications such as GV-Web Report,
GV-System and GV-Compact DVR to support extended functionality.

1.4 Optimal Camera Installation
To get the optimal results for the People Counting and Face Counter function, follow the
instructions below to install the camera.
People Counting:
•The camera should be installed to the ceiling at least 2.5 meters above the floor. The
camera should face straight down.
•Position the camera in the middle of the two defined detection zones so that the system
can easily identify people when they pass through.
•Don’t install the camera in such an angle that the size of people varies dramatically in the
camera view.
•Make sure that no doors or any items are ever crossing the middle line where the camera
is installed. If a door is opened towards the camera, place the camera further away from
the door.
•Avoid placing the camera where it can be subjected to direct sunlight or reflections. If
sharp shadow edges are visible in the camera view, the count accuracy might be less than
what it normally is.
•If the camera has the Auto Gain Control (AGC) and Auto White Balance (AWB) features,
disable them.
Positioning the camera in the middle of two
defined detection zones.

Face Counter:
•Install the camera inside an entrance pointing horizontally outward. The face counting
function is designed to detect front-view faces only.
•Avoid installing the camera where it can be subjected to direct sunlight or reflections. The
lighting of the entrance where you set the camera should be sufficient but not be too bright
or dark. Light should be distributed evenly across faces without too much light coming
from one side. If sharp shadow edges are visible in the camera view, the count accuracy
might be less than what it normally is.
1.5 Recognition Limitations on Face Counter
•Recognition Angle: Front face only (side face cannot be recognized)
•Face with Mask Filter: Not recommended for people with long beard or mustache
•Recognition Area Range: The area of the detected face must take up 10% to 50% of
camera view
