1.1 Support guidelines for physical limitations (Prevent tuning difficulty)

  1. Confirm the type of door (if there's any)

    1. Swinging door

      1. Ensure the counter is installed one meter away from the entrance(door)

      2. Confirm the swinging door direction while opened (Inward swing/ Outward swing / both direction) and ask the installer to take an image or screenshot when the door is in open condition if confirmation is needed. 

      3. Sample: Swinging door : http://prntscr.com/qcvkbe & installer live view http://prntscr.com/qcvl65 & tuner live view https://prnt.sc/qa5i78 

      4. Sample: Swinging door with suggestion on installation spot  http://prntscr.com/qcvlpj & live view http://prntscr.com/qcvm6z & https://prnt.sc/p1h0tn 

  2. Confirm if any blockage in the live view

    1. Ensure that there is no any decorations, lights or any obstacles blocking the live view

    2. Sample: https://prnt.sc/q0dc2m & http://prntscr.com/qcvmu8 & https://prnt.sc/pfuvxj

  3. Limited entrance space

    1. If the entrance is narrow + low ceiling condition (2- 2.5m height) + swinging door, recommend repositioning the counter to another location as the location is not ideal for FFC to track and count people accurately.

    2. Narrow entrance + low ceiling = suggest to use a 140 degree lens of the counter.

    3. Sample: http://prntscr.com/peo3eu -> narrow + low ceiling + swinging door

  4. Staircase

    1. FFC is not able to count/track accurately especially staircase + narrow space due to the not flatten floor and limited walking distance. Suggest to re-position.

    2. Normal staircase location, suggest to install at the end of the staircase (flatten floor)

    3. Sample: https://prnt.sc/q6fgsm  &  http://prntscr.com/qcvtpe  

  5. Low ceiling

    1. Suggest to use 140 degree lens of counter

    2. Sample: https://prnt.sc/qccasa

  6. Entrance is not fully covered by the counter

    1. Suggest to shift the counter depends on the condition

    2. If the condition is unsure, request the installer to give the ceiling height and entrance width of the area and use the calculator at the website to count if the entrance is able to be fully covered with only 1 counter.

    3. Special condition : Customer purchased 2 counters but the actual environment needs more than 2 counters. Customers are aware that accuracy will be affected at the first place but don't have the budget to purchase more counters. Installers need to raise this issue in group. FFC to suggest an installer to install at the middle of the entrance.

    4. Sample: http://prntscr.com/pd8pde  &  https://prnt.sc/pft8we 

  7. Low light environment

    1. Make sure that the lighting of the environment is bright enough else unable to track

    2. Sample: https://prnt.sc/pe7cc7

  8. Blur lens 

    1. Suggest to wipe the lens

    2. Still blur then change counter

    3. Sample: https://prnt.sc/pfuzmj

  9. Depth map broken

    1. Suggest to change counter

    2. Sample: http://prntscr.com/qcvhbl
