Xovis PC2 series
The PC2 is the Xovis 3D sensor for entrances, counters and zones under ceilings up to about 6 metres. It counts in and out, tracks occupancy and dwell, and does it all on the device. We help you choose the right PC2 variant and turn its data into analytics.
Xovis Certified Partner. New PC2 sensors supplied, or the ones you already run connected.

Why teams choose the PC2
-
Exact at the door
Directional line-crossing gives in and out counts you can use as the denominator for conversion and occupancy.
-
PC2RE adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The PC2RE monitors Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic alongside its 3D counts and can send its data over Wi-Fi where a cable is hard to run.
-
Nothing leaves but metadata
Processing runs on the sensor, with four privacy levels and no video stream, so no personal images are stored anywhere.
What a PC2 sensor measures
On the PC2 series, these KPIs reach your dashboards and API:
- In / out counts per entrance and direction
- Real-time occupancy per zone
- Dwell time and queue length
- Capture rate when a sensor watches the passing flow
- Staff exclusion, demographics, group counting and object detection (AI extensions)

What is the Xovis PC2?
The PC2 is Xovis’s ceiling-mounted 3D stereo-vision sensor for counting and tracking people at normal ceiling heights. It runs its AI on the device, stores counts locally and sends out only metadata through standard data pushes, so it needs no extra server on site. It is the sensor most stores, offices and public buildings start with.
Which PC2 variant do you need?
| Variant | What it adds | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| PC2SE | 3D counting and tracking | Entrances, counters, zones indoors |
| PC2SE, low-ceiling version | Optimised for ceilings around 2 to 3.5 m | Shops and offices with low ceilings |
| PC2RE | Wi-Fi and Bluetooth monitoring, data over Wi-Fi | Sites that want radio insights or hard-to-cable spots |
| PC2SE outdoor | Weather-protected housing | Covered outdoor entrances and walkways |
Where does the PC2 work best?
- Store entrances. Exact visitor counts give conversion rate a reliable denominator, and staff exclusion keeps employees out of it.
- Checkouts and service counters. Queue length and waiting time per zone show when to open another till.
- Offices and public buildings. Occupancy per entrance and floor supports capacity limits, space planning and cleaning schedules.
What happens to the data?
The sensor pushes its counts to our platform, where they become KPIs in dashboards and in the API, side by side with your other sites and methods. You can add Wi-Fi for whole-space flows in a hybrid setup.
Curious what this looks like for your venue?
We are very happy to announce this partnership with Bumbee Labs to boost our Wireless solutions portfolio and bring what we believe is the future for retail businesses, measured by trustful data. What can't be measured, can't be improved.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the PC2SE and the PC2RE?
Both are 3D stereo-vision people counters with the same counting and tracking. The PC2RE adds an onboard radio that monitors Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic for extra visitor insight, and it can send its data over Wi-Fi instead of an Ethernet cable when it runs as a single sensor.
How high can a PC2 sensor be mounted?
The PC2 series covers ceilings from just under 2 metres up to about 6 metres. Low-ceiling and standard variants exist for different heights within that range. Above 6 metres, the PC3 series is the right choice.
Can the PC2 be used outdoors?
Yes. There is an outdoor PC2SE that comes pre-assembled in a protective housing against water and dust, rated for cold winters. It suits covered outdoor entrances, forecourts and walkways.
How many PC2 sensors can work together?
Up to nine PC2 sensors can be combined into one multisensor that tracks people across a larger area. For bigger installations, a Xovis SPIDER unit joins many more sensors.
Does the PC2 support staff exclusion?
Yes. Staff wear a standardised Xovis pattern tag and the sensor leaves them out of the counts. The tag is the same for everyone, so no individual is identified.
