Overview
SenSource delivers end-to-end people-counting and occupancy analytics by combining PoE-connected stereo-video sensors with the cloud-based Vea analytics platform. Hardware sensors (ceiling- and wall-mountable) provide high-accuracy entrant/exit counts and zone/dwell metrics while preserving privacy; Vea translates raw counts into dashboards, heatmaps, forecasts, and exportable reports, and offers a REST API for integration with BI systems. Deployments typically include a one-time hardware purchase and an annual SaaS subscription that bundles support and proactive maintenance. SenSource positions itself for retail, education, museums, libraries, event centers, and similar venues, and emphasizes installation services, API access, enterprise SSO, and data privacy controls.
Key Features
3D Stereo-Video Sensors
Ceiling- and wall-mount stereo vision sensors provide entrant/exit counts, zone counts, and dwell metrics with high accuracy and support for high ceilings (high-mount models).
Vea Analytics Platform
Cloud-based dashboards, day-hour heatmaps, historical comparisons, custom widgets, scheduled reports, and ad-hoc exports for data analysis.
Predictive Forecasting
Vea includes forecasting that uses historical traffic and seasonality to predict future foot-traffic trends for staffing and planning.
REST API & BI Integration
A documented REST API (OAuth2 client_credentials) and Power BI integration (Power Query) allow data extraction into external analytics stacks.
Occupancy Monitoring & Alerts
Real-time occupancy counts and configurable reporting to support capacity management and safety compliance.
Enterprise Security & SSO
Support for SSO/IdP integrations (Auth0, Okta, Azure, SAML, etc.) and enterprise admin controls.
Who Can Use This Tool?
- Retailers:Optimize staffing, promotions, and store layouts using foot-traffic and dwell analytics.

Pros & Cons
✓ Pros
- ✓High accuracy: site claims modern stereo-video sensors routinely achieve ~97–98% accuracy.
- ✓Privacy-preserving design: low-res validation video and configurable privacy controls; no continuous video streaming by default.
- ✓Robust analytics: Vea offers heatmaps, forecasting, occupancy monitoring, dashboards, reporting, and Power BI integration.
- ✓API & integrations: REST API and documented API docs (vea.sensourceinc.com/api-docs/) enable BI and system integration.
- ✓Professional services: installation services, field surveys, and proactive support/maintenance are available.
✗ Cons
- ✗No public pricing transparency—requires contacting sales for all quotes.
- ✗Limited visible third-party reviews or ratings on major marketplaces (G2/Capterra not found), reducing independent social proof.
- ✗Enterprise / custom orientation may make it less suitable for very small businesses with constrained budgets.
