| Anonymous detection | 100% (no cameras, no personal identification) |
Thermal Detection Requirements
Optimal conditions:
- Ambient temperature: 15-25°C (59-77°F)
- Body temperature: ~36-37°C (97-99°F)
- Temperature difference: ~15-20°C (sufficient thermal contrast)
Reduced accuracy:
- High ambient temperature (> 30°C): Less thermal contrast
- Cold individuals (winter clothing, just entered from outdoors)
- Insufficient temperature gradient between body and environment
Battery Specifications
Battery Type
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemistry | 2× AA alkaline batteries |
| Voltage | 3V nominal (1.5V × 2) |
| Capacity | 2000-3000 mAh per AA (varies by brand) |
| Replaceability | User-replaceable |
| Expected lifespan | Up to 4 years (typical usage) |
Battery Life Estimates
Based on configuration:
| Configuration | Measurement Interval | Idle Reporting | Expected Battery Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low-latency | 10 seconds | 10 minutes | ~2 years |
| Standard (default) | 30 seconds | 1 hour | ~4 years |
| Low-power | 60 seconds | 24 hours | ~5 years |
| Heavy router usage | (Varies - relaying packets) | (Varies) | 3-4 years |
Factors affecting battery life:
- Measurement frequency (more measurements = faster drain)
- Transmission frequency (more reports = faster drain)
- Mesh network role (routers relay packets, consume more power)
- Environmental temperature (cold reduces capacity)
Unlike non-replaceable battery sensors, ENTRYWAY batteries are easily user-replaceable (2× AA alkaline). Simply open battery compartment, swap batteries, and sensor resumes operation automatically.

Data Transmission
Payload structure (example):
{
"measurementDirectionalMovement": [
{
"deviceId": "df1b0c93-60a2-4cc9-8646-762fc1d2d42e",
"entries": 3,
"exits": 2,
"measuredAt": "2025-01-14T10:30:00.714+00:00"
}
]
}
Transmission behavior:
- First detection: Report immediately (within 1-5 minutes)

Environmental Specifications
Operating Temperature Range
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum | 0°C (32°F) |
| Maximum | +50°C (122°F) |
| Optimal | 15-25°C (59-77°F) for best PIR detection |
| Storage temperature | 0°C to +50°C |
Temperature effects:
- PIR performance: Reduced accuracy when ambient temp close to body temp (> 30°C)
- Battery capacity: Reduced in extreme cold (< 10°C) or heat (> 40°C)
- Housing integrity: Standard plastic suitable for indoor 0-50°C range
Humidity and Moisture
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Operating humidity | 8% to 90% RH (non-condensing) |
| Condensation tolerance | No (avoid condensing environments) |
| Storage humidity | 8% to 90% RH (non-condensing) |
Real-world scenarios:
- Indoor offices: Excellent (typical 40-60% RH)
- Underground parking: Acceptable (may approach 90% RH, ensure non-condensing)
- Outdoor: Not suitable (ENTRYWAY is indoor-only)
Altitude and Pressure
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Operating altitude | 0 to 3,000 meters (0 to ~10,000 feet) |
| Atmospheric pressure | Standard atmospheric pressure (typical indoor environments) |
Measurement and Reporting
Measurement Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement interval (active) | 30 seconds | 10s - 60s (typical) |
| Reporting interval (idle) | 1 hour | 10 minutes - 24 hours |
| First detection | Immediate | (Fixed) |
Data Accuracy
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Counting accuracy (single-file) | > 95% (optimal conditions) |
| Counting accuracy (moderate traffic) | > 90% (1-2 people per minute) |
| Counting accuracy (busy traffic) | 80-90% (> 5 per minute, some simultaneous) |
| Directional accuracy | > 95% (complete passage through all 3 PIR beams) |
Accuracy depends on:
- Single-file traffic (side-by-side passage reduces accuracy)
- Complete passage (person walks through all three PIR beams)
- Sufficient temperature difference (ambient 15-25°C ideal)
- Passageway width ≤ 1600mm
