How do I go about determining foot traffic? Client wants to make sure space is on a well-walked road

You'd put the device in the shop window and a reflector on a lamp post or something on the other side of the pavement. I'm sure that the better quality ones will also log the time so you can see activity levels across the day/week.\n\nSome upmarket CCTV cameras can identify and count people passing the camera's view.\n\nThere are also counters which work by logging unique bluetooth addresses passing within range (these aren't as reliable nowadays as many phones randomise the phone's bluetooth address to prevent it being used to track people). Should be fine for getting a basic idea though once you control for the percentage of people with bluetooth turned off, no phone, etc.\n\n...Or just pay some local kids to stand with a clipboard and count how many folks go past each hour.", "replies": [{"id": "g5bamjg", "text": "I have info on activity sensors that can be economically deployed for this purpose. ...And that may be the best sentence I've ever written.", "replies": [{"id": "g5bj9yc", "text": "Do you really?", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "g5bg26d", "text": "Theres a program or software where it tracts wifi and cellular movement.
