After using the Smart Counter Retail People Counter for several weeks in my small boutique, I can confidently say it's a solid choice for tracking foot traffic—with a few quirks.

The installation was a breeze. I used the included adhesive tape to mount the sensors on either side of my shop entrance. Within minutes, it was up and running—no tools or tech skills required. The grey color blends discreetly into the doorway, which I appreciate since I didn’t want an eyesore.

Accuracy is where this counter shines. It reliably counts customers without picking up stray movements from carts or boxes (a huge upgrade from my old clicker system). Comparing manual counts to the device’s readings showed less than a 2% discrepancy—impressive for an infrared system.

The magnetic reset key is genius… once you get the hang of it. At first, I fumbled with positioning the magnet over the tiny triangle indicator, but after a few tries, resetting became second nature. No more accidental wipes like with my previous counter!

Battery life has been stellar—still on the original set after two months of 10-hour daily operation. The LCD display remains crisp and easy to read even in low light.

My only gripe? The plastic housing feels flimsy for the price point. While functionally sound, it lacks premium build quality—I’d gladly pay slightly more for more durable materials.

For retail owners needing reliable traffic data without complex setups, this delivers where it counts (pun intended). Just budget carefully if you need multiple units.
