Know your numbers, anonymously
Track exactly how many people are inside your venue in real time, using Ottica's purpose-built smart cameras, with every profile automatically blurred for complete anonymity.
Guessing your occupancy is an operational and safety risk.
Liquor licences impose firm capacity limits, and exceeding them can trigger fines or jeopardise the licence itself. Yet many venues still estimate occupancy with manual clickers or rough door counts that drift over the course of a night. Without an accurate, live figure, it is difficult to manage crowds safely, staff to demand, or prove you stayed within your limit.
Manual counts drift and disagree
Clickers and door tallies lose accuracy as the night gets busier, exactly when an accurate occupancy figure matters most.
Capacity breaches carry real penalties
Exceeding your capacity limit can create real safety and operational problems, with little room to argue if you have no reliable record.
Staffing and security run on guesswork
Without live occupancy data, decisions about rostering, queue management and crowd control are reactive rather than informed.
Accurate occupancy, complete anonymity
Our Live People Counter detects entries and exits in real time without identifying a single person.
Real-time occupancy count
See precisely how many people are inside at any moment as the system tracks entries and exits across your monitored doorways.
Smart cameras at every doorway
The counter runs on Ottica's smart cameras and on-site server, supplied and positioned over your monitored doorways for an accurate live figure.
Automatic blurring keeps people anonymous
Our custom-trained model removes the background and automatically blurs each person on detection, so the system counts people without ever identifying them.
Stay within your capacity limit
Stay confidently within your venue's capacity with a live count, and keep an accurate record of occupancy you can rely on.
Smarter staffing and crowd management
Use live and historical occupancy to roster to demand, manage queues, and respond to crowding before it becomes a safety issue.
Improves continuously
The model learns and refines its counting accuracy over time through ongoing machine learning, with improvements delivered to every customer.

Questions, answered.
No. The Live People Counter is built for anonymity. Our custom model removes the background and automatically blurs each person on detection, so it produces an accurate count without ever recognising or recording who anyone is.
Ottica supplies the smart cameras and the on-site server that runs the count. Our team positions them over your monitored doorways and tunes coverage, so you get an accurate live figure without piecing equipment together yourself.
It gives you a precise, real-time count of how many people are inside, so you can manage crowding and stay within your venue's capacity. The live figure also provides an accurate record of your occupancy.
The system detects entries and exits with an in-house model trained for the task, and accuracy improves over time through ongoing machine learning. Camera placement and coverage are optimised during deployment to maximise reliability.
No. Counting runs on-premise on local hardware, consistent with our privacy-first approach. Because profiles are blurred and no one is identified, the data the system produces is anonymous occupancy figures rather than personal information.
