Count people in zone in real time

[Touville01]

Hi,
Would like to know if it's possible to use the example count people but in real time with a webcam or something else. Is it similar than the time_in_zone example ? Thank you !

Hi @Touville01 👋

Check out this tutorial - I believe it's what you're looking for.

Thank you but it seems to be a people counter but with a mp4 file ? My question is if it's different with real time processing and anotating

[LinasKo]

Yup, webcams work too.

You can use InferencePipeline or get frames from OpenCV.

@LinasKo you beated me (I agreed the solutions)

[Touville01]

Thank you both!
Also, Is there a better method? or is the difference not too noticeable?
Thanks

These are the main methods for live data as far as I know. I'd encourage you to try both and see how they perform on your use case :)
