People Counting Sensor Milesight VS132-868 — LoRaWAN 3D ToF CoWork, Indoor Occupancy Monitoring

Milesight VS132-868 is a LoRaWAN 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) people counting sensor designed for accurate indoor occupancy monitoring. The CoWork device uses a 3D ToF sensing module to detect presence and count people while preserving privacy by avoiding image capture. It communicates over LoRaWAN for low-power, long-range reporting, and is intended for fixed installation in ceilings or doorways to monitor entries, exits and room occupancy in offices, meeting rooms and other indoor spaces.

Advantages

The VS132-868 provides precise people counting and discrete presence detection using ToF technology, enabling reliable flow and occupancy data without recording images. Its LoRaWAN connectivity ensures extended battery life and flexible placement where wired connections are impractical. The compact design and ceiling/doorway mounting options simplify integration into existing spaces and facility management systems. Data outputs are suitable for analytics such as workspace utilization and footfall measurement.

Suitable for

• Monitoring office occupancy and meeting room usage
• Tracking entries and exits in corridors or doorways
• Collecting footfall data for retail or public spaces
• Facility management and HVAC optimization based on real-time occupancy
• Space utilization analytics and resource planning

Key specifications

• Detection technology: 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) people counting
• Wireless protocol: LoRaWAN for low-power, long-range communication
• Installation: ceiling or doorway mounting options
• Output: discrete presence detection and people flow/occupancy counts
• Power: designed for low-power operation (battery-powered typical use)
• Privacy: non-imaging sensor; does not capture photos or video

How to use

Install the sensor at the recommended height in a ceiling or above a doorway oriented toward the monitored area to maximize detection accuracy. Register the device on a compatible LoRaWAN network server and configure uplink intervals and payload settings according to your monitoring and battery-life requirements. Calibrate the sensor if required by following the manufacturer's installation guidance to set detection zones and counting direction. Integrate the sensor data into your facility management, analytics or building automation platform to start collecting occupancy and flow metrics.

Usage recommendations

Position the VS132-868 to avoid direct sunlight or reflective surfaces in the sensor field of view and maintain recommended mounting height to ensure counting accuracy. Adjust reporting frequency to balance between near real-time monitoring needs and battery life. For best results in high-traffic entrances, verify counting direction settings and perform periodic validation against manual counts after installation.
