If you are building for venues, the problem is not just "count people." It is state management at scale.
A solid system needs:
- Identity:RFID / BLE / QR / badge linked to a ticket or role
- Events: Entry, exit, zone transition — with timestamps
- Rules:Who can enter which zone, when, and how many times
- Live aggregates:* Occupancy per zone, updated in seconds, not minutes
- Resilience: Offline check-in at gates, then sync when network returns
- Audit:Immutable logs for compliance and post-event analysis
The hard parts are not the sensors. They are deduplication, offline sync, clock drift, and keeping the dashboard fast when 10,000 people enter in 30 minutes.
