People counters for retail stores or airports are commonplace, true. Recently, humanitarian aid organisations began to show interest in using them, as well. They could use them for instance to manage refugee camps better or to understand migration routes. So we built a tool for the NGOs in this sector, with a very similar technology used by OP as basis: https://www.aileenproject.org/ https://www.aileenproject.org/ One key difference is that each Aileen box is a client, which will upload its findings to a server, so that NGO management staff can review it. Now that the basis is there (and being piloted), we hope to make it into a product tailored to the humanitarian aid sector. One key aspect is taking privacy seriously, others will drill down into the features that refugee camp managers tell us they'd need (for instance alerts if populations seem to be on a rapid move).
