Can we update ESL price tags screens remotely from outside the supermarket? Or must we be connected to the same local network as the base station?

2026-07-23

You can remotely update ESL digital price tags away from the supermarket by hosting our software on a cloud server and linking all on-site base stations to the internet.

For in-store local updates instead, install our software on an on-premise PC; the PC simply needs to share the same LAN with connected base stations to finish all screen updates directly.

Does infrared people counter require sufficient lighting to operate properly? Will dim or low-light conditions reduce its counting accuracy?
Infrared people counters can work normally without external lighting. Dim or low-light conditions will not reduce its counting accuracy.
However, sunlight, spotlights and other light sources contain infrared rays, which are likely to interfere with the device and cause counting errors. Turning off indoor lights only eliminates interference from indoor light sources, while interference from outdoor sunlight has a much more obvious impact.
